Mirrors

Exterior mirrors
Make adjustments with the large, four-
directional mirror switch.
Change to the other rearview mirror
with the smaller switch.
> Push the switch up – mirror on the
driver's side.
> Push the switch down – mirror on the
passenger's side.
You can also adjust the mirrors manu-
ally by pressing against the outer edges
of their lenses.
The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the ob-
jects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as pre-
cise.<
Electric defrosting *
Both mirrors are defrosted automa-
tically when the ignition key is in posi-
tion 2.
