CAUTION
l
Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided the mirror could lead
to an accident.
Retracting and extending the mirrors using the
mirror retractor switch
With the ignition

switch in the “ON” or “ACC” po-
sition, push the mirror retractor switch to retract
the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to
their original positions.
After placing the ignition switch in the “LOCK” po-
sition, it is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors using the mirror retractor switch for about
30 seconds. CAUTION
l
It is possible
to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror us-
ing the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using
the switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move be-
cause of the wind or vibration while you
are driving, taking away your rearward
visibility.
NOTE l Be
careful not

to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
l If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using
the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the
mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its orig-
inal position.
l If the battery voltage is low and you start the
engine while extending the mirrors, the mir-
rors may stop part-way. If this happens, push
the mirror retractor switch to retract the mir-
rors and then push the switch again to extend
them.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from re-
peated pushing of the retractor switch as this
action can result in burn-out of the mirror mo-
tor circuits. Automatic extension of mirrors
If
the
engine

is stopped and started with the mirrors
retracted, the mirrors automatically extend for safe-
ty when the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h
(19 mph).

Handling of compact discs
E00723000106
l Use only
the
type of compact discs that have
the mark shown in the illustration below. Play-
back of CD-R or CD-RW discs may cause
problems. l
The use of
special shaped, damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact discs (like warped discs or burrs on the
discs) will damage the CD player. l
In the
following
circumstances, moisture can
form on discs and inside the audio system,
preventing normal operation. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after the heater is turned on
in cold weather.

In this case, wait until the moisture has
had time to dry out.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work. l
When
storing compact
discs, always store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc with-
out a label. This will damage the disc surface
and could affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by the
outer edge and the centre hole.
l To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Wipe directly from the centre hole towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc. l
Do not
use
a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc.
l Do not put additional labels (A) or stickers
(B) on compact discs. Also, do not use any
compact disc on which a label or sticker has
started to peel off or any compact disc that
has stickiness or other contamination left by
a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such
a compact disc, the CD player may stop work- For pleasant driving

area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative and
the pedal effort will increase. Press down the

when turning it. Emergency starting
E00800502587
If the engine
cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To start
the
engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles. CAUTION

Do not attempt
to start the engine by pull-
ing or pushing the vehicle. It could dam-
age your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can

reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. CAUTION
l
Check the
other
vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles. 2. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle.
Put an

A/T in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in “N”
(Neutral). Turn off the ignition switch. WARNING

is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
5. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the
positive (+)

terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A or B), and the other end to the posi-
tive (+) terminal of the booster battery (C). For emergencies
