COMFORT ADJUSTMENT TILT STEERING WHEEL OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS 16E009 16E010 To change the steering wheel angle, hold the steering wheel, pull up the lock release lever, tilt the steering wheel to the desired angle and release the lever. When the steering wheel is in a low position, it will spring up as you release the lock release lever. Adjust the mirror so you can just see the side of your vehicle in the mirror. Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side. It is a convex mirror with a curved surface. Any object seen in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal flat mirror. When you push the rear window defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the surface. CAUTION D Do not adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving. D After adjusting the steering wheel, try moving it up and down to make sure it is locked in position. 62
