Warnings and Cautions for Using the Mirrors

 


Be sure to look over your shoulder before changing lanes.

Changing lanes without taking into account the actual distance of a vehicle in the convex mirror is dangerous. You could have a serious accident. What you see in the convex mirror is closer than it appears.

Always return the outside mirrors to the driving position before you start driving.

Driving with the outside mirrors folded in is dangerous. Your rear view will be restricted, which could lead to an unexpected accident.

Do not touch the outside mirrors while they are folding in and out.

Touching an outside mirror while it is folding in or out is dangerous. Your hands could get caught which could cause an injury or the door mirror could be damaged.

Use the switch to set the outside mirrors.

Setting the outside mirrors manually is dangerous. The outside mirrors will not lock into place, which could obstruct visibility.

Always operate the electric retractable mirrors with the vehicle parked in a safe place.

Operating the electric retractable mirrors while driving is dangerous. Wind pressure could damage the outside mirrors, making it impossible to return them to the driving position and to see behind you.

Do not adjust the outside mirrors while driving the vehicle.

Adjusting the outside mirrors while driving the vehicle is dangerous as doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.

 


(Vehicles with electric retractable mirrors)

Operate the folding switch to fold in or out the outside mirrors. If you unfold the outside mirrors manually, they will not be in a secured position and you will be unable to check the view to the rear of the vehicle.
