Outside rear view mirrors—

Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger's side.
It is a convex mirror with a curved sur-
face. Any object seen in a convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away than
when seen in a flat mirror.
On some models, when you push the
back window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will
quickly clear the surface. (See "Back win-
dow and outside rear view mirror defog-
gers" on page 108 in Section 1–4.)
On some models, the outside rear view
mirrors are rain clearing mirrors that clear
the driver's rear view when it rains. (For
details, see "Rain clearing mirrors" on
page 303 in Section 5.)
CAUTION
D
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the
vehicle and an accident may occur
resulting in death or serious inju-
ries.
D
On some models, since the mirror
surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the defogger switch is
on.
