Outside rear view mirrors—
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
When you push the rear window defogger
switch, the heater panels in the outside
rear view mirrors will quickly clear the
mirror surface. (See "Rear window and
outside rear view mirror defoggers" on
page 194 in Section 1−5.)
On some models, the outside rear view
mirrors have been coated to produce a
"rain clearing" effect. This coating causes
the raindrops to spread, clearing the driv-
er's rear view when it rains. (See "Rain
clearing mirrors" on page 493 in Section
5.)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
D
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.
Since the mirror surfaces can get
D
hot, do not touch them when the
defogger switch is on.
