Outside MirrorsTo receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside
mirrors to center on the adjacent lane of traffic
with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the pas-
senger side convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than they really are. Rely-
ing too much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide with an-
other vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side convex
mirror. Some vehicles will not have a convex
passenger side mirror.
Outside Mirrors Folding FeatureAll outside mirrors are hinged and may be
moved either forward or rearward to resist dam-
age. The hinges have three detent positions:
•full forward
• full rearward and
• normal.
Outside Automatic Dimming
Mirrors — If Equipped
The driver and passenger outside mirrors will
automatically adjust for glare from vehicles be-
hind you. This feature is controlled by the inside
automatic dimming mirror and can be turned on
or off by pressing the button at the base of the
inside mirror. The mirrors will automatically ad-
just for headlight glare when the inside mirror
adjusts.
Power MirrorsThe power mirror switch is located on the
driver’s side door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of mirror select
buttons and a four-way mirror control switch. To adjust a mirror, press the mirror select button
for the mirror that you want to adjust. Using the
mirror control switch, press on any of the four
arrows for the direction that you want the mirror to
move.
Power mirror preselected positions can be con-
trolled by the optional Memory Seat Feature.
Refer to “Driver Memory Seat” in “Understand-
ing The Features Of Your Vehicle” for further
information.

REAR WINDOW FEATURES
Rear Window Wiper/WasherThe rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the multifunction lever on the left side of the
steering column. The rear wiper/washer is op-
erated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermit-
tent operation and to the second de-
tent for continuous rear wiper operation. Rotating the center portion upward
once more will activate the washer
pump which will continue to operate as
long as the switch is held. Upon re-
lease of the switch, the wipers will resume the
continuous rear wiper operation. When this
rotary control is in the OFF position, rotating it
downward will activate the rear washer pump
which will continue to operate as long as the
switch is held. Once the switch is released it will
return to the OFF position and the wipers will
cycle several times before returning to the
parked position.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop
if the switch is held for more than 20 sec-
onds. Once the switch is released the pump
will resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return
to the “park” position.
If the flipper glass is open, the rear window
wiper/washer functionality is interrupted and the
wiper stops at that “park” position. When the
flipper glass is closed, the rear wiper will resume
wiper/washer functionality after five seconds.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is
located on the climate control panel.
Press this button to turn on the rear
window defroster and the heated out-
side mirrors (if equipped). An indicator in the
button will illuminate when the rear window
defroster is on. The rear window defroster au-
tomatically turns off after approximately 10 min-
utes. For an additional five minutes of opera-
tion, press the button a second time.
NOTE:
To prevent excessive battery drain, use the
rear window defroster only when the engine
is operating.

come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and
the engine is at idle speed.

your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Using Fob With Integrated Key (Tip Start)
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or press-

the START position and release it as soon as the
starter engages. The starter motor will continue to
run, and it will disengage automatically when the
engine is running. If the engine fails to start, the
starter will disengage automatically in 10 sec-
onds. If this occurs, turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
