Outside rear view mirrors—
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.
When you push the outside rear view mir-
ror heater switch, the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the mirror surface. (See “Outside rear
view mirror heaters” on page 120.)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while
the vehicle is moving. Doing so
may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident
may occur resulting in death or
serious injuries.
Since the mirror surfaces can
get hot, do not touch them when
the mirror heater switch is on.
To adjust a mirror, use the switches.1. Master switch—To select the mirror to be adjusted
Place the switch at “L” (left) or “R”
(right).
2. Control switch—To move the mirror Push the switch in the desired direc-
tion.
Mirrors can be adjusted when the key is
in the “ACC” or “ON” position.

When the ignition key is inserted and
turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the “AUTO” 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.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.

The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning. The compass does not ad-
just while the vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.
Any door is open.
The compass works to calibrate the direc-
tion automatically while the vehicle is in
motion, if deviation is small.
For obtaining additional precision or for
complete calibrating, see “Calibrating the
compass” below.
