function*
To help you see
the
curb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of
the
mi rror t ilts
slightly
.
For
this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger's outside
mirror.
You can
adjust the
tilted mirror surface by
turn-
ing the knob
in
the desired direction
.
When you
move out of reverse and into another gear, the
new mirror position is stored and assigned to the
key you are using.
The
mirror goes back into its origina
l
position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.
A
WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spherical*)
increase your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat mir-
ror. If you
use
this mirror to
estimate
distan-
ces
of following vehicles when changing
lanes, you could estimate incorrectly
and
cause
an
accident.

Note
-
If the mirror housing was moved by force
(for example, by running into an object
when maneuvering
the
vehicle),
the
m irror
must be folded all
the
way in using
the pow-
er
folding function. The
mirror housing
must not
be
moved back into
place
by hand
because this would impair the function
of
the mirror mechanism.
-
If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must
fold
the exterior mirrors in
54
to reduce
the
risk of damage
to the
mirrors.
Never
fold
power
folding exterior mirrors*

hand. Only
fold
them in and out
using
the
power
controls.

Tips
