2000 Buick Century Owner's Manual - Page 115

Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle. These mirrors can also be folded rearward manually. This feature is particularly useful in automatic car washes and when maneuvering your vehicle in narrow spaces. 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. Automatic Dimming/Heated Outside Rearview Mirror (If Equipped) If you have this feature, the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the electrochromic automatic dimming rearview mirror. (See "Electrochromic Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror") earlier in this section. The left and right outside mirrors are also heated when you activate the rear window defogger. (See "Rear Window Defogger" in the Index.) Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or rearward. This feature is particularly useful in automatic car washes. 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. 2-46
