Mirrors
Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror Power Remote Control Mirrors The
control on the driver’s
door controls both outside
rearview mirrors.
Turn the control to the left to select the driver’s side
rearview mirror, or to
the right to select the passenger’s
side rearview mirror. Then use the control to adjust each
mirror
so that you can just see the side of your vehicle
when
you are sitting in a comfortable driving position.
To reduce glare from lights behind you, pull the lever
toward you (to the night position).
To return the mirror
to the day position,
push the lever away from you.
