Mirrors are an essential feature of your vehicle. They allow you to keep an eye on the traffic behind you while you are focused on driving ahead. The Mazda MX-5 is fitted with high-quality interior and exterior mirrors. Here is a brief look at the workings of these mirrors.
The Mazda MX-5 has a selector switch on the driver side armrest to control the positioning of the mirrors on the outside. These mirrors can be adjusted when the ignition is in the “ACC” or “ON” mode. You can then select L (left) or R (right) on the switch depending on the side of the mirror you choose to adjust and press the dial. Then, turn the dial back to its neutral position.
In case the exterior mirror is foggy, you can use the “defogging” button on the dashboard, used for rear windows, to clear them. The defogging (or demisting) function for exterior mirrors is available only in some models.
If your Mazda is equipped with an automatic dimming rear view mirror, you can control it through the power button present on it. The function of the dimmer is to reduce glare from vehicles that are behind you. You can turn the dimmer “ON” or “OFF” based on the traffic conditions.
Before you hit the road, make sure all the mirrors are positioned correctly. Folding the mirrors while driving is dangerous as you will not be able to see vehicles that are behind you and steer safely. By ensuring your mirrors are adjusted to the right position, you can avoid fatal collisions and accidents.
