Outside Power Mirrors
If the vehicle has power
mirrors, the control is
located on the driver’s
side door.
Select each mirror by turning the knob clockwise
for the passenger’s side mirror or counterclockwise
for the driver’s side mirror. The center position
is neutral.
Then, adjust the mirror angle by moving the knob
in the desired direction.

Your passenger’s side mirror may be convex.
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 lane, you could hit a vehicle
on your right. Check your inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.

With RDS, the radio can do the following:
•Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
•Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
•Display messages from radio stations
This system relies upon receiving specific
information from these stations and only works
when the information is available. In rare cases, a
radio station may broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters appear on the display
instead of the frequency. RDS stations may
also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY)
for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.

•The tape is tight and the player cannot turn
the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the
tape with the open end down and try to turn
the right hub counterclockwise with a
pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the
hubs do not turn easily, the tape may be
damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your
player is working properly.
•The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
•The tape is wrapped around the tape head.
Attempt to get the cassette out. Try a new tape.

the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned.
It still plays tapes, but it should be cleaned as soon
as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and
player. SeeCare of the Cassette Tape Player
on page 224.
If the cassette tape is not playing correctly, for any
other reason, try a known good cassette.If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot

should play.
•The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.

hour and try again.
•There may have been a problem while
burning the CD.
•The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more
effective than braking. For example, you come
over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane,
or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or
a child darts out from between parked cars and
stops right in front of you. You can avoid
these problems by braking — if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you cannot; there is not room.
That is the time for evasive action — steering
around the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies
like these. First apply the brakes. SeeBraking
on page 232. It is better to remove as much speed
as you can from a possible collision. Then steer
around the problem, to the left or right depending
on the space available.An emergency like this requires close attention
and a quick decision. If you are holding the
steering wheel at the recommended 9 and
3 o’clock positions, you can turn it a full
180 degrees very quickly without removing either
hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly,
and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you
have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive
driving at all times and wear safety belts properly.
