{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle
without the parking brake rmly set. Your
vehicle can roll. If you have left the engine
running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You
or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle will not move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always set the parking
brake.
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will
not move.
Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, pull the tab under the
mirror toward you to reduce glare from headlamps
behind you after dark. Push the tab away from you to
restore the mirror to the daytime position.
Outside Manual Mirrors
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors so you can see a
little of the side of your vehicle, and the area beside your
vehicle from a comfortable driving position. All mirrors
can be folded in to enter narrow passageways.
2-39

Outside Power Mirrors
If you have outside power mirrors, they can be adjusted
from the inside of the vehicle.
The control for this
feature is located on the
driver’s door.
Select the mirror you want to move by turning the
switch clockwise to adjust the passenger’s side mirror,
or counterclockwise to adjust the driver’s side mirror.
The center position is neutral.
Then, adjust the mirror by pressing the outer arrows on
the switch until the mirror is in the desired position.
Outside Convex Mirrors
Your vehicle has convex mirrors on the lower quarter of
both the driver’s and passenger’s side rearview
mirrors. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can
see more from the driver’s seat.
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your regular
outside mirrors (or your inside mirror, if you
have one) before changing lanes.
2-40

Outside Heated Mirrors
If your vehicle has this feature, your outside rearview
mirrors can be defrosted.
The switch for this feature
is located in the instrument
panel switchbank.
Push the bottom of the switch to turn the outside heated
rearview mirrors on. The switch indicator light will
come on and stay on whenever the outside heated
rearview mirrors are activated.
If your vehicle has a crew cab, your vehicle may be
equipped with a rear window defogger. It will also come
on each time the outside heated mirror feature is
activated. See “Rear Window Defogger” underClimate
Control System on page 3-19.
Storage Areas
Your vehicle includes a number of storage
compartments.
Some vehicles have storage areas in the instrument
panel. Another small storage area may be located
overhead. Other models may have more storage area
underneath the front passenger’s bench seat.
Your vehicle may have a storage tray located behind
the driver and passenger seats.
All models have storage pockets and cupholders on
each of the doors. Some models may have additional
cupholders in the center floor console.
All models also have storage compartments located
beneath the floorboard on both sides of the vehicle.
