Outside mirrors
For your driving safety, it is important that you properly adjust the outside mirrors and the inside mirror
before you start driving ⇒ .
The outside mirrors and the inside mirror help you see and adapt your driving to traffic behind you.
Remember that the inside and outside rearview mirrors will not show everything behind you. There
can be blind spots. Blind spots can be significantly larger if the mirrors are not properly adjusted.

WARNING
Adjusting mirrors when the vehicle is moving can cause driver distraction, accidents, and
serious personal injury.
Always adjust the rearview mirrors when the vehicle is not moving.
Always be aware of what is happening around the vehicle when changing lanes, passing,
turning, or parking. Another vehicle, pedestrian, or object could be in your blind spot.
Always make sure mirrors are properly adjusted and the view to the rear is not reduced by
moisture, ice, snow, or other things.
WARNING
Self-dimming mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which can leak if the mirror glass is broken.
Electrolyte fluid can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to electrolyte fluid can irritate the respiratory system,
especially among people with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Get fresh air
immediately by leaving the vehicle or, if that is not possible, open windows and doors all the
way.
If electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes, flush them thoroughly with large amounts of clean
water for at least 15 minutes; medical attention is recommended.
If electrolyte fluid contacts skin, flush affected area with clean water for at least
15 minutes and then wash affected area with soap and water; medical attention is
recommended. Thoroughly wash affected clothing and shoes before reuse.
If swallowed, and the person is conscious, rinse mouth with water for at least 15 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a
medical professional.
