OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
16E197
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of
your vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any
object seen in the outside rear view mirror on the
passenger's side. It is a convex mirror with a curved
surface. Any object seen in a convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal flat
mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in ªAUTOº
mode, the driver's side outside rear view mirror also
darken to reduce the reflection of the headlights of the
following vehicle. For details, see ªInside rear view
mirrorº on page 130. When you push the rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside
rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.

CAUTION

It may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and
an accident may occur, resulting in personal injuries.

hands off them when the rear window and outside
rear view mirror defogger switch is on.
