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 engine switch is in the “ON”
position, 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 and on the automatic function,
push the “
” 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.

2: Rear corner sensors
3: Front corner sensors
The intuitive parking assist is designed
to inform you of the approximate dis-
tance between your vehicle and an ob-
struction by indicator and buzzer when
parking the vehicle. This system uses
sensors to detect obstructions.
This system works when the engine
switch is in the “ON” position and the
transmission is not in the “P” position.
Rear and rear corner sensors work only
when the transmission is in the “R” posi-
tion.
Front corner sensors works when:
Transmission is in the “R” position.
Transmission is not in the “P” or “R”
position and vehicle speed is approxi-
mate 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

How the buzzer sounds when obstacles
are simultaneously detected at the front
and rear of the vehicle.
The buzzer sounds as described below:
When an obstacle is detected within
approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of the
front corner sensor or approximately
850 mm (33.5 in.) of the rear sensor
(buzzer is sounding continuously) and
another obstacle is detected at the oth-
er end of the vehicle, the buzzer
sounds 7 times intermittently then
sounds continuously and it continues to
sound approximately every 1.5 sec-
onds.
When an obstacle is detected within
approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of the
front corner sensor or approximately
850 mm (33.5 in.) of the rear sensor
(buzzer is sounding continuously) and
another obstacle is detected in the
same way at the other end of the ve-
hicle, the buzzer sounds 3 times inter-
mittently then sounds continuously and
it continues to sound approximately ev-
ery 0.5 seconds.
