Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or rearward. In the rearward position, they will fold almost flush with the vehicle. This feature is particularly useful in automatic car washes. Your mirrors have a blue tint to reduce glare while driving at night. Heated Outside Mirrors The left and right outside mirrors are heated when you activate the rear window defogger. See "Rear Window Defogger" in the Index. Storage Compartments Your vehicle's large carrying capacity can store many items. You can carry things as large as a 4i x 8i piece of plywood. You can also use the floor pins that are used to attach the seats, to secure larger loads. Convex Outside Mirror Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the driver's seat. Glove Box CAUTION: A convex mirror can make things (like other vehicles) look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. Your vehicle has a glove box below the instrument panel. To open the glove box, lift the latch release. Use the key to lock or unlock the glove box. The glove box door has a detent to prevent the door from lowering too far. Open the glove box until the door is partway open, then pull the door down if you need it fully open. To close the glove box, the door must be pushed up past the detent. In the door of the glove box, you will find a tissue pack holder and clip for a pen or pencil. 2-68
