Outside Power Heated Mirrors
If the vehicle has this feature, when the rear window
defogger is turned on, the heated driver’s and
passenger’s outside power mirrors are warmed to help
clear them of ice, snow and condensation. See
“Rear Window Defogger” underClimate Control System
on page 3-21for more information. Also seeOutside
Power Mirrors on page 2-37for mirror operation.
Outside Convex Mirror
{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.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver’s seat. It also makes things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they really are.
