side mirrors are controlled by the setting on the inside mirror. There are two light sensors (photocells) in this mirror. The sensor that detects rear glare is located next to the switch. The second light sensor which determines outside light level is located on the backside of the mirror case. One important safety feature is that the mirror automatically returns to the normal position whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position). This feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror when backing up. Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products. Side View Mirrors Your vehicle comes with electric side mirrors. The side view mirror on the right is a convex mirror. This mirror gives you a wider view of the lanes on your right and behind you. NOTE: When putting your vehicle in reverse, both outside mirrors will tilt downward and return to the adjusted position when taken out of reverse. This feature can be disabled by using the Menu Select button on the cluster. To disable, press the menu button repeatedly until "Reverse Mirrors" appears in the display, then select OFF. To enable the reverse mirrors, select ON. /!\ WARNING The side view mirror on the right makes objects appear smaller and farther away than they actually are. 126
