Curved mirror

The outer part of each mirror conveys a
slightly distorted, larger field of vision
than the inner part of the mirror. This
helps to extend your range of vision
toward the rear and to reduce the size
of the blind spot.

The mirror on the passenger's
side is more convex than the

driver's mirror. The objects reflected in
the mirror are closer than they appear.
This means that when you are estimat-
ing the distance to following vehicles,
the mirror is not necessarily a reliable
aid. This also applies to the outer parts
of each mirror.

Electric defrosting

Both mirrors are heated automatically in
ignition key position 2.

Interior rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature

While the vehicle is being driven for-
ward, this mirror dims light through an
infinitely variable range depending on
the light's incidence. Two photocells in
the interior rearview mirror serve this
purpose. One is positioned in the mir-
ror's frame, while the other is slightly
offset on the opposite side of the mir-
ror.

To ensure perfect functioning, keep the
photocells clean and the area between
the interior rearview mirror and the
windshield free of any obstruction like
stickers, etc.
