slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside
rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker.

view mirror always 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.

Doing so may cause the
driver to mishandle the vehicle
and an accident may occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.

located on both sides of the mirror, do not touch or cover
the sensors with your finger or a piece of cloth, etc.

Simply restart it, using the correct procedure given in normal
starting.
If the engine will not start...
See “If your vehicle will not start” on page 298.

 If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls
frequently, have the engine checked immediately.
