Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The “POWER” switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position
memory)
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, the outside rear
view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is
reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this func-
tion, move the mirror select switch to the neutral position (between “L” and
“R”).
Rain clearing mirrors (if equipped)
When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it
rains, the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets
to be spread out into a film making the rear view clearer. In the following
cases, the rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, but will return
after 1 or 2 days’ exposure to direct sunlight.
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 underground
parking lots etc. where there is no direct sunlight
When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers.
Turn on the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror
defoggers.
(P. 329)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving position
memory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automat-
ically by the driving position memory. (P. 102)

Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the
outside rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare
inside rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 1 1 6 )
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
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
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.
When the mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and
burn you.
NOTICE
If the mirrors become iced up (vehicles with rain-clearing mirror)
In order to retain the rain-clearing properties of the mirror, do not attempt to
scrape the ice off. Instead, remove it by turning on the mirror defoggers or
by applying warm water.

CAUTION
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents,
resulting in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
Abrupt changes from shift position D to B and rapid changes in the engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are
wet and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, result-
ing in an accident.
When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may cause the
vehicle to accelerate abruptly, causing an accident and resulting in death or
serious injury.
After changing the shift position, make sure to confirm the current shift
position displayed on the shift position indicator inside the meter.

Rear view monitor system
: If equipped
Switching the screen
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the vehicle while reversing. The image is
displayed in reverse on the screen. This allows the image to appear in
the same manner as that of the rear view mirror.
The rear view image is dis-
played when the shift posi-
tion is in R and the
“POWER” switch is in ON
mode.
This reversed image is a sim-
ilar image to the one on the
inside rear view mirror.
If you shift the shift position
to any positions other than R,
To temporarily turn off the monitor
when it is on.
Push the “AUTO” button. The indica-
tor should turn orange.
The monitor will automatically turn on
again after the “POWER” switch is
turned OFF and ON.
To manually turn on the monitor when
it is turned off.
Push the “AUTO” button. The indica-
tor should turn green.

Rear view monitor system camera
The camera uses a special lens. The
distance of the image that appears on

cult to see the images on the screen,
even when the system is functioning
correctly.
• In the dark (e.g. at night).
• If the temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low.
• If water droplets get on the camera,
or when humidity is high (e.g. when
it rains).
• If foreign matter (e.g. snow or mud)
get on the camera lens.
• If the sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens.

CAUTION
When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path
is clear.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
Do not use the system if the back door is not completely closed.
Never back up while looking only at the screen. The image on the screen
is different from actual conditions. Depicted distances between objects
and flat surfaces will differ from actual distance. If you back up while
looking only at the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a person or an object.
When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visu-
ally and with mirrors before proceeding.
Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are
ancillary.
The guide lines are ancillary lines and does not change even if the steering
wheel is turned.
