Mirrors

The mirror head can be adjusted up, down, left, and right for various drivers. The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view through the rear window.

Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror to the night position (toward the rear of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted while set in the day position (toward the windshield).

A single ball joint mirror is provided in the vehicle. It is a twist on mirror that has a fixed position at the windshield. The mirror installs on the windshield button with a counterclockwise rotation and requires no tools for mounting. The mirror head can be adjusted left and right and tilted up and down for various drivers. The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view through the rear window.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS

To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors to center on the adjacent lane of traffic and a slight overlap of the view obtained from the inside mirror.

Note:

The passenger side convex outside mirror will give a much wider view to the rear, and especially of the lane next to your vehicle.

WARNING:

Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your passenger side convex mirror could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the passenger side convex mirror.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS FOLDING FEATURE

All outside mirrors are hinged and may be moved either forward or rearward to resist damage. The hinges have three detent positions:

  • Full forward position

  • Full rearward position

  • Normal position

INTERIOR OBSERVATION MIRROR

The convex interior observation mirror provides the driver and front seat passenger a wide field of view to conveniently view passengers sitting in the rear passenger seats. To use the interior observation mirror, push on the raised bars on the compartment door and release (the door will swing downward), then raise the door until it is almost closed and release. The door will latch in position to use the interior observation mirror.

Note:

From the “observation mirror” position, the door can only be closed.

To return to the full open position, the door must first be closed and then opened by pushing the latch again to release.

Note:

If the vehicle speed is greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), the folding feature will be disabled.

If the mirrors are in the folded position, and vehicle speed is equal or greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), they will automatically unfold.

Resetting The Power Folding Outside Mirrors

You may need to reset the power folding mirrors if the following occurs:

  • The mirrors are accidentally blocked while folding.

  • The mirrors are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.

  • The mirrors come out of the unfolded position.

  • The mirrors shake and vibrate at normal driving speeds.
