at a safe distance, signal that you are going
to change lanes. Glance over your shoulder
to verify traffic is clear, and carefully change
lanes.

pivot point. This lets you move the mirror
head up or down and from side to side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror

Do not block the sensors on the front
and back of the mirror. Mirror performance
may be affected. A rear center passenger
or raised rear center head restraint may also
block light from reaching the sensor.

glare when bright lights are detected from
behind your vehicle. It will automatically
return to normal reflection when you select
reverse gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up.
