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 automatic electrochromic day/night rearview mirror. See "Automatic Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror" earlier in this section. If you have this feature, 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. In the rearward position, they will fold flush with the vehicle. 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. 2-54
