Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing (type B only)
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 function, move the mir-
ror select switch to the neutral position (between “L” and “R”).
Rain clearing mirrors (type B only)
The coating on the mirror has the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect to make the
rear view clearer in raining. When water droplets collects on the mirror surface,
this effect causes the droplets to be spread out into a film.
The rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, when the dirt is adhered to
the mirror or after your vehicle is parked for a long time in underground or
indoor parking lots, etc., where there is no direct sunlight. However, the effect
will gradually recover after 1- or 2-day exposure to direct sunlight.
If you want to restore the rain clearing effect immediately, conduct the resto-
ration work (P. 481).
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. 447, 454)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (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. 163)
Auto anti-glare function (type B only)
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. 172)
Using automatic mode in cold weather (type B only)
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event, remove any
ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual
mode or move the mirror by hand.
Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be changed.

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.
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
Handling the rain clearing mirror (type B only)
The rain clearing effect is finite. Observe the Following precautions in order to
retain the rain-clearing properties of the mirrors:
When using water repellent, oil film remover, wax, or any other car mainte-
nance product that contains silicone, pay full attention not to adhere it to the
mirror surface.
Do not wipe the mirror surface by using any cloth smeared with sand, oil film
remover, abrasive agent, or any other thing that may scratch the mirror sur-
face.
When the mirrors become iced up, remove the ice by applying warm water, or
operating the outside rear view mirror defoggers, etc. But, do not attempt to
scrape the ice off by using the plastic plate, etc.
When washing your vehicle using car shampoo with water repellent effect,
rinse the mirror surface with a lot of water, and remove the water drops by
using a clean and soft cloth.

WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY”
indicator is illuminated. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
When driving the vehicle
Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelera-
tor pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal
will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty
in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle
only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals
properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal
using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an
accident.
The driver should pay extra attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is pow-
ered only by the electric motor (traction motor). As there is no engine noise,
the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts
may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
During normal driving, do not turn off the hybrid system. Turning the hybrid
system off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control,
however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will make it more diffi-
cult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so. In the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossi-
ble to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 5 6 1
Use engine braking (shift position B instead of shift position D) to maintain a
safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (P. 204)
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or out-
side rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body are
not outside the vehicle.
