PRE-DRIVING OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
After properly adjusting your seat for proper driving position, adjust the mirrors
indicated below so that they provide adequate views for checking the rear and the side
by moving each of the mirrors.
Outside Rearview Mirrors
Lateral-direction
Adjust the mirror so that you can see the
vehicle's side including the inner one-third
of the mirror.
Vertical-direction
Adjust the mirror so that you see the rear
bottom corner of the vehicle halfway up the
height of the mirror.

CAUTION
• When checking the rear of the vehicle with mirrors, be careful that this does not
distract your attention from the traffic ahead.
• Rearview mirrors may make the vehicle behind you appear farther away
than it really is. Use these mirrors very carefully until you are able to correctly
determine distances from the images.
• Keep the mirrors in mind when passing another vehicle on a narrow road,
moving the vehicle into a garage or driving near pedestrians.

WARNING
• Adjust the mirrors when the vehicle is stationary, not while the vehicle is in
motion.
• Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
