The back window can be operated with
the switch on the instrument panel or
the key operation in the back door key-
hole.
The power back window works when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
You can open the back window when the
back window wiper is working. At that
time, the wiper stops working until the
window is closed again.
If the back window is not fully closed, the
back window wiper, washer and defogger
will not work. (See “Back window wiper
and washer” on page 138 and “Back win-
dow and outside rear view mirror defog-
gers” on page 139 in Section 1 −5.) If the battery is disconnected or run
down,
the power back window may not
operate automatically and the jam protec-
tion function will not function correctly af-
ter you reconnect, replace or recharge the
battery. In any of these cases, you should
normalize the power back window with the
power back window switch.
To normalize the power back window:
1. Push the “ ” (down) switch and lower
the window halfway.
2. Push the “ ” (up) switch until the win-
dow closes and hold the switch for a
second.
Make sure that the window opens and
closes automatically. If the power back
window cannot be operated properly, have
it checked by your Toyota dealer.
OPERATING FROM INSIDE
The ignition key must be in the “ON” posi-
tion.
Normal operation: To open or close the
back window, quickly push and release the
“  ” (down) or “ ” (up) switch. Automatic operation:
To open or close
the back window, push and hold the “ ”
(down) or “ ” (up) switch. The window
will fully open or close. To stop the win-
dow partway, push the switch on either
the “ ” (down) or “ ” (up) side briefly.
Key off operation: If both front doors are
closed, it works for 43 seconds even after
the ignition switch is turned off. It stops
working when either front door is opened.
Jam protection function: During automat-
ic closing operation or key off closing op-
eration, the window stops and opens half
way if something gets caught between the
window and window frame.
If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
CAUTION
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.

ADJUSTMENT OF TELESCOPIC
STEERING COLUMN
To change the steering wheel length,
push down the lock release lever, set
the steering wheel to the desired length
and return the lever to its original posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
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.
After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down or for-
ward and rearward to make sure it
is locked in position.
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
back window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will
quickly clear the surface. (See “Back win-
dow and outside rear view mirror defog-
gers” on page 139 in Section 1 −5.)
Outside rear view mirrors—

On some models, the outside rear view
mirrors are rain clearing mirrors that clear
the driver’s rear view when it rains. (For
details, see “Rain clearing mirrors” on
page 359 in Section 5.)
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.
On some models, since the mirror
surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the defogger switch is
on.To adjust a mirror, use the switches.
1. Master switch—To select the mirror to be adjusted
Push the switch to “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.
NOTICE
If ice should jam the mirror, do not
operate the control or scrape the mir-
ror face. Use a spray deicer to free
the mirror.

The rear view mirrors can be folded
backward for parking in compact areas.
To fold the rear view mirror, push back-
ward.
CAUTION
Do not drive with the mirrors folded
backward. Both the driver and pas-
senger side rear view mirrors must
be extended and properly adjusted
before driving.
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the rear of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
To reduce glare from the headlights of
the vehicle behind you during night
driving, operate the lever on the lower
edge of the mirror.
Daylight driving—Lever at position 1
The reflection in the mirror has greater
clarity at this position.
Night driving—Lever at position 2
Remember that by reducing glare you also
lose some rear view clarity.
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.

Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the rear of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
This mirror is equipped with auto anti
glare function. The function is designed
to reduce glare from the headlights of
the vehicle behind you during night
driving.
When the ignition key is inserted and
turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the automatic function
mode.
The indicator illuminates to show you that
the function is on. In automatic function mode, if the mirror
detects light from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected
light.
To turn off the automatic function, push
the “MIRROR” switch.
To turn on the automatic function again,
push the “MIRROR” switch.
Adjust it before driving so that the rear
view is in the best condition.
When the inside 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.
To ensure correct functioning of anti
glare mirror sensors located on both
sides of the mirror, do not touch or
cover the sensors with your finger or
a piece of cloth, etc.
