Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
The electric rearview mirror automati‐
cally controls the glare from the head‐ lights of the vehicles behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi‐
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir‐ ror senses the light level around the ve‐
hicle, and automatically controls the
headlight glare from the vehicles be‐ hind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into reverse (R), the mirror will automatical‐
ly go to the brightest setting in order
to improve the driver's view behind the vehicle.

When cleaning the mirror, use a pa‐per towel or similar material damp‐ened with glass cleaner. Do notspray glass cleaner directly on themirror. It may cause the liquid clean‐er to enter the mirror housing.

LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
05'4
The Lane Keeping Assist System de‐
tects lane markers on the road, and as‐ sists the driver’s steering to help keep
the vehicle between lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driv‐
er with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight counter steering
torque, trying to prevent the vehicle
from moving out of its lane.
WARNING
•The steering wheel is not continu‐ously controlled so if the vehiclespeed is very fast when leaving alane the vehicle may not be con‐trolled by the system.
•The operation of the LKAS can beaffected by several factors (in‐cluding environmental conditions).It is the responsibility of the driverto pay attention to the roadwayand to maintain the vehicle in itslane at all times.
•Do not steer the steering wheelsuddenly when the steering wheelis being assisted by the system.
