Outside rearview mirror

Your vehicle is equipped with both left-hand and right-hand outside rearview mirrors.

Be sure to adjust the mirror angles before driving.

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 through a narrow street.

WARNING

Estimating distances accurately

Objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear in the mirror. Do not estimate the distance of vehicles behind you based on what you see in the mirror, as this could increase your risk of accident. (The convex mirrors are only used for the passenger side rearview mirrors.)

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.

WARNING

Mirror adjustment

Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control.

Adjusting the outside rearview mirrors

Adjusting the rearview mirrors:

  1. Move the L (Front left side) or R (Front right side) switch (1) to select the rearview mirror you would like to adjust.

  2. Press a corresponding point (▲) on the mirror adjustment control (2) to position the selected mirror up, down, left or right.

CAUTION
  • The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjusting angles, but the motor continues to operate while 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

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