Outside rearview mirrors are mounted
on the doors. If you choose to remove
the doors, see an authorized dealer for
a replacement cowl-mounted outside
mirror. Federal law requires outside
mirrors on vehicles for on-road use.
NOTE:

Alert Temporarily Unavailable” will display in the
instrument cluster display. Power Mirrors and Power Door
Locks will also be unavailable.
To remove the front doors, proceed as follows:
1. Roll down the glass window to prevent any damage.
2. Remove the hinge pin nut from the upper and lower
outside hinges (using a #T50 Torx head driver).
NOTE:
The hinge pin nuts can be stowed in the Fastener Bin
located under the rear seat.
