rectly when you use these mirrors to ga uge
your distance from the vehicles behind you
when c hanging lanes, wh ic h increases the r is k
of an a ccident.
@ Note
- Applies to vehicles with power folding exte­
rior m irrors : if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
whe n m aneuver ing), you m ust use the pow­
e r fold ing func tion to fo ld the m irror all t he

tion of the mirror mechanism.
- Applies to vehicles wi thou t power folding
exterior mirrors : if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as a n impact
when maneuvering), you must move it back
in place by hand.
- If you wash the vehicle in a n automatic ca r
wash, you must fold the exter ior mirrors in
