Side View Mirrors

[CF34900(ALL)01/96]
Close your door and adjust the driver's seat to the most
comfortable position before you adjust the side view mirrors.
[CF35000(ALL)05/96]
If you have manually adjusting side view mirrors, you can
adjust them in any direction by moving the mirror. The mirror
heads can be folded rearward to prevent damage when using an
automatic car wash.

[CF35100(ALL)01/96]
NOTE: Be careful. The convex side view 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.
