ally:

To store the mirror setting, refer to Seat 
and mirror memory on page 

.

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. When estimating the 
distance between yourself and other 
traffic, bear in mind that the objects 
reflected in the mirror are closer than 
they appear. This means that when you 
are estimating the distance to following 
vehicles, the mirror is not necessarily a 
reliable aid. This also applies to the 
outer parts of each mirror.

Both mirrors are heated automatically in 
ignition key position 2.

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.
