outs ide temperature.
8 - The exterior mirrors fold in*
You are well-advised to fold the exter ior mir-
rors in when maneuvering in tight spaces or
when leaving the car parked close to other
vehicles.
.&, WARNING
- Curved (i.e. convex) mirror surfaces in-
crease your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when seen
in a flat mirror. If you use this mirror to
estimate distances of following vehicles
when changing lanes, you could estimate
incorrectly and cause an accident .
(D Note
- If the mirror housing is moved uninten-
tionally (for example, while parking your
vehicle), then you must first fold the mir-
ror electrically. Do not readjust the mir-
ror housing manually . You could damage
t he motor which controls the mirror.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must fold the exter ior mir-
rors in to reduce the risk of damage to
the mirrors. Never fold power folding ex-
terior mirrors* by hand. Only fold them
in and out using the power controls.
(D Tips
If there should be a malfunction in the
electrical system, you can still adjust the
exterior mirrors by pressing the edge of
the mirror.
