The engine switch is in the ACC or ON position.
■ When the mirrors are fogged up (veh icles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers)
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( P. 240)
■ Rain clearing mirrors
The rain clearing mirrors have been coated to spread the raindrops evenly
into a thin film (hydrophilic effect) when they adhere to the mirror surface,
clearing the driver’s rear view.
■ In the following cases, the rain clear ing effect will be reduced tempo-
rarily, but will recover by exposing the mirrors to bright direct sunlight
for 1 or 2 days
● After wiping dirt off the mirrors
● When the mirrors fog up
● After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
● After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in a place with no
direct sunlight, such as under ground parking lots
CAUTION
■When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
● Do not drive with the mirrors folded back.
● Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
■ When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.

free the mirror.
■ When the mirror surfaces freeze ( vehicles with mirror defoggers)
