1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
HS250h_U_75050U
■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)
The outside rear view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However, this function will
not operate when the mirror select switch is in 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
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( →P. 2 74 )
■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angl e (vehicles with driving position mem-
ory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. ( →P. 7 2 )
■Auto anti-glare fu nction (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 mir-
ror to reduce reflected light. ( →P. 8 5 )
