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
objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. Estimations of the
distance to following traffic should
therefore not be regarded as

Move the mirror selector switch 1 to the
"driver's mirror" position. When the
selector lever is placed in "Reverse,"
the passenger-side mirror tilts down-
ward. This allows the driver to see the
area directly adjacent to the vehicle
during parking (curbs, etc.).
You can deactivate this automatic
feature by setting the mirror selection
switch to the "passenger mirror" posi-
tion.
