adjust the left mirror.

2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.

Spotter mirror (if equipped)

the spotter adjustment effort eases.

Spotter mirror on standard
mirror (if equipped)

The spotter mirror only can be tilted
from top to bottom. Move the lower
mirror manually up/down to increase
side and rear visibility. Apply
pressure only in the center of the
spotter mirror along the top or
bottom edges to adjust the tilt feature. Do not apply any force on the
left or right edges of the standard mirror spotter section, as this
may lead to a mirror fracture.

Spotter mirror on telescoping
mirror (if equipped)

The spotter mirror has a swivel that
allows it to tilt up and down, and
also to tilt left and right to increase
side and rear visibility.

Fold-away mirrors

The mirrors can be manually folded forward or backwards for narrow
spaces like driving through an automatic car wash or backing out of a
garage with the trailer tow mirror.

The telescoping feature (if
equipped) allows the mirror to
extend approximately 3.15 inches
(80 mm). This feature is especially
useful to the driver when towing a
trailer.
