This system can memorize the position
of the driver’s seat and outside rear
view mirrors, and recall them at the
touch of a button.
Buttons “1” and “2” can memorize two
separate positions.
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION
The ignition switch must be set at ON and
the shift lever is in the “P” position.1. Adjust the driver ’s seat and outside rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2” until a beep
is heard.
The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps. If step
2 is performed when both buttons “1” and
“2” are memorized, the previous position
will be erased and a new position will be
set. To make only slight changes to an already
memorized position, the easiest way is to
first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform
step 2 above.

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.Vehicles with the auto anti
−glare inside
rear view mirror—
When the inside rear view mirror surface
darkens in automatic mode, the driver ’s
side and front passenger ’s side (on some
models) outside rear view mirror surface
also darkens to reduce the reflection of
the headlights of the vehicle behind you.
(For details, see “Auto anti −glare inside
rear view mirror” on page 121 in this Sec-
tion.)
When you push the rear window defogger
switch, the heater panels in the outside
rear view mirrors will quickly clear the
surface. (See “Rear window and outside
rear view mirror defoggers” on page 138
in Section 1− 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.
NOTICE
The outside rear view mirrors are
fixed in place. Do not try to fold the
mirrors. It may damage the mirrors.
