Convex mirror
The passenger-side mirror
features a convex lens. When esti-
mating the distance between yourself
and other traffic, bear in mind that the
objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as
precise.<
Self-defrosting mirrors
Both mirrors are defrosted automati-
cally when the ignition key is in
position 2.
