COMFORT ADJUSTMENT

OUTSIDE REAR VIEWMIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object
seen in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side.
It is a convex mirror with a curved surface. Any object seen
in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if
seen in a normal flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in ºAUTOº mode,
the outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the
reflection of the headlights of the following vehicle. For
details, see ºInside rear view mirrorº on page 113.
When you push the rear window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the
mirror surface.

CAUTION

Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving. It may
cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and an accident
may occur, resulting in personal injuries.

Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, keep your hands off
them when the rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger switch is on.

master switch at ºLº (left) or ºRº (right), and move the
control switch in the desired side.
The power rear view mirror can be adjusted when the key is
in the ºACCº or ºONº position.
NOTICE
If ice should jam the mirror, do not operate the control or
scrape the mirror face. Use a spray de±icer to free the
mirror.

Folding rear view mirrors
To fold the rear view mirror, push backward.
The rear view mirrors can be folded backward for parking in

and properly adjusted before driving.

INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Pushing the switch changes the mode between ºAUTOº
and ºDAYº.
The indicator comes on when the ºAUTOº mode is selected.
ºDAYº mode: The mirror surface is normal.
ºAUTOº mode: If the mirror detects light from the
headlights of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside
rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker.
When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the ºAUTOº mode. When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a little
longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
