To lock and unlock all doors, push the
switches of the transmitter slowly and
securely.
To lock: Push the “
” (lock) switch. All
the doors are locked simultaneously. At
this time, the turn signal lights flash once.
Check to see that the doors are securely
locked.
If any door is not securely closed, or if
the key is in the ignition switch, locking
cannot be performed by the “
” switch.
To unlock: Push the “
” switch once to
unlock the driver ’s door alone. Pushing
the switch twice within 3 seconds unlocks
all the doors simultaneously. At this time,
the turn signal lights will flash twice. When unlocking a door when all the doors
are locked, the interior light comes on.
The lights remain on for about 15 seconds
unless either door is opened and closed.
(For further information, see “Interior light”
on page 139 in Section 1
−5.)
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again.
If the “
” or “” switch is kept pushed
in, the locking or unlocking operation is
not repeated. Release the switch and then
push again.

The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, push the “
” switch once
again, lock or unlock a door with transmit-
ter, or turn the ignition key from the
“LOCK” to “ON” position.
The alarm does not work when the ignition
key is in the “ON” position.

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.
LS14005
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. It may cause the
driver to mishandle the vehicle and
an accident may occur resulting in
death or serious injuries.
