CHEVROLET CAMARO 1996 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Remote Control Mirror (Option) Convex Outside Mirror
Your
passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface
is curved so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther
away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on
your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The power mirror control is on the driver’s door. To
adjust either mirror, turn the switch to left (L) or
right
(R). Then use the control to adjust the mirror.
The control only works when the ignition switch is in
the
RUN or ACC positions, or when RAP is present.
(See “Retained Accessory Power”
in the Index.)
