Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-Checks

Inspect the exterior mirror control switch. Inspect the suspect exterior mirror for damage or obstructions.

NOTE: Clean the entire mirror assembly and glass to assist in verification of the customer concern and/or impact damage. Do not clean any mirror glass or housing with an ice scraper, razor blade, abrasive pad, harsh chemicals or petroleum based cleaning products, as these may damage the mirror glass and/or housing.
