WARNING
49)Do not attempt to adjust the steering
wheel while you are driving the vehicle.
50)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could badly affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the
non-compliance of the vehicle with
approval requirements.
IMPORTANT
11)Remove the key when leaving the
vehicle. In some countries, it is prohibited
to leave the key on the vehicle when
parked.
12)When the following operation is
performed with the operation mode in OFF,
the steering wheel is locked: 1 – open or
close the driver’s door. 2 – Close all the
doors. 3 – Open one of the doors when all
the doors are closed. 4 – Lock all the doors
with the keyless entry system or the keyless
operation function. 5 – The selector lever is
the “P” (PARK) position (A/T).
13)When the door is opened while the
steering wheel does not lock, the buzzer
sounds to alert the steering wheel is
unlocked.14)If the engine is stopped while driving,
do not open a door or press the LOCK
switch on the key until the vehicle stops in
a safe place. This could cause the steering
wheel to lock, making it impossible to
operate the vehicle.
15)Carry the key with you when leaving the
vehicle. If your vehicle needs to be towed,
perform the following operation to unlock
the steering wheel: on vehicles with M/T,
put the operation mode in ACC or ON, on
vehicles with A/T, put the operation mode
in ON.
REARVIEW MIRRORS

Adjust the rearview mirror only after
making any seat adjustments so you
have a clear view to the rear of the
vehicle.
Adjust the rear-view mirror to maximize
the view through the rear window.

It is possible to move the mirror up and

position. [Vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system] Put the
operation mode in ON or ACC.
NOTE Automatically retract when the
ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position or the operation mode is put in
OFF, and the driver’s door is then
opened.
NOTE Automatically extend when the
vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h.
(vehicles equipped with the keyless
entry key or the keyless operation key)
NOTE Deactivate the automatic
extension function.
WARNING
51)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
52)Do not attempt to adjust the rear-view
mirror while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirror before
driving.53)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
54)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
16)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using 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 because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.
