When you set your driving position:1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Move the accelerator and brake pedals to the front most position.
3. Adjust the seat position and steering wheel angle properly. (See “Front
seats” on page 38 and “Tilt steering
wheel” on page 85.)
4. Move the pedals toward you until you can fully depress the brake pedal.
5. After adjusting, depress the pedals a few times to get used to the feel.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the acceler-
ator pedal while the pedals are
moving. It may cause racing of the
engine or sudden acceleration.
Make sure that you can fully de-
press the brake pedal before driv-
ing. Otherwise, you may not be able
to hold down the brake pedal firmly
in an emergency stop.
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.
On some models, when you push the rear
window defogger switch, the heater panels
in the outside rear view mirrors will quick-
ly clear the mirror surface. (See “Rear
window and outside rear view mirror de-
foggers” on page 99 in Section 1 4.)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the
vehicle and an accident may occur
resulting in death or serious inju-
ries.
Since the mirror surfaces can get
hot, do not touch them when the
defogger switch is on.
NOTICE
The outside rear view mirrors are
fixed in place. Do not try to fold the
mirrors. It may damage the mirrors.

ror face. Use a spray de icer to free
the mirror.

see the rear of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.

the vehicle behind you during night
driving, operate the lever on the lower
edge of the mirror.

turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the automatic function
mode.

detects light from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected
light.

the “MIRROR” switch.
To turn on the automatic function again,
push the “MIRROR” switch.

view is in the best condition.

may take little longer for the mirror to
darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
