crease your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror. If you use this mirror to est ima t e
distances of following vehicles when chang-
ing lanes, you could estimate incorrectly
and cause an accident.

th e mirror housing is moved unintent ion-
a lly (for example, wh ile parking your vehi-
cle), then you must first fold the mirror
electrically. Do not readjust the mirror hous-
ing manually. You could damage the motor
which controls the mirror.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
