Outside Mirrors Folding Feature
All outside mirrors are hinged and may be
moved either forward or rearward to resist
damage. The hinges have three detent posi -
tions:
Full forward position
Full rearward position
Normal position
Power Mirrors — If Equipped
The power mirror controls are located on the
driver-side door trim panel.
Power Mirror Controls To adjust a mirror, turn the control knob toward
the left upper, left lower, right upper or right
lower mirror positions indicated by one of the
four arrows on the switch. Tilt the control wand
in the direction you want the mirror to move.
When you are finished adjusting the mirror, turn
the control to the center position “O” to prevent
accidentally moving a mirror.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a power blind
spot mirror, you can adjust them when the
control wand is positioned to the lower arrows.
Power Folding Mirrors — If Equipped
The switch for the power folding mirrors is
located on the driver’s door panel below the
power mirror controls.
Power Folding Mirror Switch Location Push the switch to the right and the mirrors will
fold in, push the switch to the left and the
mirrors will return to the normal driving position.
Power Folding Mirror Switch
The power folding mirrors are designed to be
folded and unfolded using the power folding
switch. If the mirrors are manually folded, the
mirror head may appear loose.
If the mirror head or pivot exhibits a slight
amount of play, the mirror should be power
folded closed, then power folded open (this may
require multiple button pushes).

STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and
fasten your seat belts.
Automatic Transmission
The gear selector must be in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position before you can start the
engine. Press the brake pedal before shifting to
any driving gear.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal before shifting
out of PARK.
Normal Starting
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or pressing
the accelerator pedal.
Turn the ignition switch to the AVV (START) posi-
tion and release it when the engine starts. If the
engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the
ignition switch to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) posi -
tion, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the
“Normal Starting” procedure.
Cold Weather Operation (Below –22°F Or
−30°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera -
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho -
rized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To Start
If the engine fails to start after you have
followed the “Normal Starting” procedure, it
may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the
engine for no more than 15 seconds. This
should clear any excess fuel in case the engine
is flooded. Leave the ignition key in the RUN
position, release the accelerator pedal and
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil -
dren). A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
