MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
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 but-
ton with a counterclockwise rotation and requires no
tools for mounting. 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 re-
duced by moving the small control under the mirror to
the night position (toward the rear of the vehicle). Themirror should be adjusted while the small control under
the mirror is set in the day position (toward the
windshield).
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.

your inside mirror when judging the size or dis-
tance of a vehicle seen in the passenger side convex
mirror.

System Maintenance
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about ten minutes. Have the
system inspected at an authorized dealer before the
summer.
NOTE: The system uses R-1234yf coolant which does
not pollute the environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Under no circumstances should you use R-134a
fluid which, in addition to being incompatible with the
system’s components, contributes greatly to the green-
house effect.
