Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-hand and right-hand outside rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted remotely with the remote switch. The mirror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during an automatic car wash or when passing in a narrow street.
Rearview mirrors
-
The outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
-
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to determine the actual distance of following vehicles when changing lanes.
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict movement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with very warm water.
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved spray de-icer (not radiator antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors whilst the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause death, serious injury or property damage.
Remote control
Manual type
To adjust an outside mirror, move the control lever located at the forward inside area of the window frame.
Electric type
The electric remote control mirror switch allows you to adjust the position of the left and right outside rearview mirrors. To adjust the position of either mirror, the ignition switch should be in the ACC position.
To adjust the position of either mirror, press the R or L button (1) to select the right side mirror or the left side mirror, then press a corresponding point (▲) on the mirror adjustment control (2) to position the selected mirror up, down, left or right.
After adjustment, press the R or L button again to prevent the inadvertent adjustment.
-
The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjusting angles, but the motor continues to operate whilst the switch is pressed. Do not press the switch longer than necessary, the motor may be damaged.
-
Do not attempt to adjust the outside rearview mirror by hand. Doing so may damage the parts.
-
When the mirror control, press exactly “▲” (2) marking area. Otherwise, the mirror will move to unintended direction or malfunction.
Folding the outside rearview mirror
Electric type
To fold the outside rearview mirror, depress the button.
To unfold it, depress the button again.
The electric type outside rearview mirror operates even though the ignition switch is in the OFF position. However, to prevent unnecessary battery discharge, do not adjust the mirrors longer than necessary whilst the engine is not running.

Manual type
To fold outside rearview mirror, grasp the housing of mirror and then fold it toward the rear of the vehicle.
