Mirrors
qOutside Mirrors
Check the mirror angles before driving.
Mirror type

Flat surface mirror.
Convex type (passenger side).
The mirror has single curvature on its surface.
WARNING:
Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes:
Changing lanes without taking into
account the actual distance of the
vehicle in the convex mirror is
dangerous. You could have a serious

Folding the mirror
Fold the outside mirror rearward until it is flush with the vehicle.

driving:
Driving with the outside mirrors
folded in is dangerous. Your rear view
will be restricted, and you could have
an accident.
