STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
clxxivWhen you set your driving position:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Move the accelerator and brake pedals to the front most
position.
3. Adjust the seat position and steering wheel angle properly.
(See pages cviii and clxxiii.)
4. Move the pedals toward you
until you can fully depress the
brake pedal.
5. After adjusting, depress the pedals a few times to get used
to the feel.

 Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while the
pedals are moving. It may cause racing of the engine
or sudden acceleration.

hold down the brake pedal firmly in an emergency
stop.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance 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 if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in AUTO mode, the
outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the reflection
of the headlights of the following vehicle. For details, see
“Inside rear view mirror” on page clxxvii.
