Adjusting

Mirrors

Adjust the interior and exterior rear view
mirrors before driving so that you have a
good view of the road and traffic condi-
tions.

mirror.

rors” (

page 179).

Exterior rear view mirror

Warning!

In the case of an accident, liquid electrolyte
may escape the mirror housing if the mirror
glass breaks.

Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not al-
low the liquid to come into contact with
eyes, skin, clothing, or the respiratory sys-
tem. In case it does, immediately flush af-
fected area with water, and seek medical
help if necessary.

Electrolyte drops coming into contact
with the vehicle paint finish can only be
completely removed while in their liq-
uid state and by applying plenty of wa-
ter.

Warning!

Exercise care when using the passenger
side exterior rear view mirror. The mirror
surface is convex (outwardly curved surface
for a wider field of view). Objects in mirror
are closer than they appear. Check your in-
terior rear view mirror or glance over your
shoulder before changing lanes.
