Convex mirror
The passenger-side mirror
features a convex lens. When esti-
mating the distance between yourself
and other traffic, bear in mind that the
objects 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
precise.<
Self-defrosting mirrors
Both mirrors are heated automatically in
ignition key position 2.
Passenger-side exterior mirror tilt
function
(automatic curb monitor)
> Move the mirror selector switch 1 to
the "driver's mirror" position
> When the selector lever is placed in
"Reverse," the passenger-side mirror

vision while parking.
You can deactivate this automatic
feature by setting the mirror selector
switch to the "passenger-side" posi-
tion.
