The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the ob-
jects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as pre-
cise.<

By responding to the effects of ambient
light and the glare from following traffic,
this mirror automatically dims through
an infinitely-variable range.
You can also adjust the mirrors manu-
ally by pressing against the outer edges
of their lenses.
The mirror automatically reverts to its
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
move the selector lever to "Reverse."

"Seat, mirror and steering wheel

Both mirrors are automatically heated
with the ignition key in position 2.

operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells clean and unobstructed. One
photocell is in the mirror glass (arrow),
while the other is offset somewhat on
the other side of the mirror.

mic technology used in this mirror, refer
