Side View Mirrors
[FV25200(ALL)04/95]
Your vehicle comes with electric adjustable and
heated side view mirrors. The outside rearview
mirror on the right is a convex mirror. This
mirror gives you a wider view of the lanes on
your right and behind you.

RWARNING
Be careful. The convex outside
rearview mirror on the right makes
objects appear smaller and farther
away than they actually are. Use the
inside rearview mirror (or look
behind you) to determine the actual
size and distance of objects that
appear in the convex mirror.
