Outside rearview mirror

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

Be sure to adjust the mirror angle before driving.

You can adjust the mirrors remotely with the control levers or remote switch depending on the type of mirror control installed. You can fold the mirror heads back to prevent damage in an automatic car wash or when driving on a narrow street.

TIP

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.

NOTE

Do not scrape ice off of the mirror face, as scraping may damage the surface of the glass. If ice restricts the mirror’s movement, do not force the mirror to adjust its position. To remove ice, use either a de-icer spray or warm water and a sponge or soft cloth.

NOTE

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

Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could result in a crash and serious injury or death.
