POWER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS (IF EQUIPPED)

To adjust your mirrors:

1. Select

to adjust the left

mirror or

to adjust the right

mirror.

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

Spotter mirror

Note: New spotter mirrors may be stiff, requiring several cycles before
the spotter adjustment effort eases.

Standard mirror

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.

Telescoping mirror

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.

SPEED CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

With speed control set, you can maintain a speed of 30 mph (48 km/h)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. Speed
control does not work at speeds below 30 mph (48 km/h).
