Dome Lamps Mirrors
The rear dome lamp has a switch that lets you turn it on
from the rear
of the vehicle.
Press the side of the switch with the lamp symbol to turn
on the front and rear dome lamps. Pressing the other
side
of the switch will turn the cargo area dome lamp
off, even when the liftgate and doors are open.
The front dome lamp will come on whenever the doors
are open.
Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror
Press the tab under the mirror to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you.
Outside Manual Adjust Mirror
Adjust your outside mirrors so you can just see the side
of your vehicle.
You can fold them before entering a car wash. Pull the
mirrors in toward the vehicle. Push the mirrors back out
when finished.

Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely
to be
impaired
-- by alcohol or drbgs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
