Vehicle Security
Guard Against Theft
Your new vehicle has many features
to help prevent theft of the vehicle,
its equipment and contents. But
these anti-theft features depend
upon you to work.
The time to be most on guard is
when leaving the vehicle:
.Park in a lighted spot when
you can.
. Turn the engine control switch to
"LOCK" and remove the key.
This locks the switch and the
steering controls. The selector
lever is not locked.
. Keep items that may appear to
be of value out of sight and
locked up when possible.
. Fully close all windows and lock
all doors.
Exterior Mirrors
Mirrors
Sit in the correct driving position
with the seat adjusted properly.
Then, check each mirror to ensure
that a proper view of the rear and
sides of the vehicle are provided.
Make adjustments and clean mirrors
if necessary.
Outside Rearview Mirrors
After properly adjusting your seat for
proper driving position, adjust the
mirrors so that they provide
adequate views for checking the
rear and the sides of the vehicle.
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors
by hand before vehicle operation.
This helps you determine the
location of objects seen in the
mirror. If the outside mirror fogs up,
warm up the outside rearview
mirror's face to defog.
See Heated Mirrors 034.

{Warning
Before driving, be sure to adjust
the seat and mirrors to positions
that give you a correct driving
posture.
Do not adjust the outside mirrors
while operating the vehicle.
Adjust the mirrors when the
vehicle is stationary, not while the
vehicle is in motion.
When checking the rear of the
vehicle with mirrors, be careful
that this does not distract your
attention from the traffic ahead.
Rearview mirrors may make the
vehicle behind you appear farther
away than it really is. Use these
mirrors very carefully until you are
able to correctly determine
distances from the images.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Keep the mirrors in mind when
passing another vehicle on a
narrow road, moving the vehicle
into a garage or driving near
pedestrians.
Do not drive with the mirrors
folded.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Heated Mirrors
If the outside mirrors fog up, press
the outside rearview mirror heater
switch to defog them. When the
switch is pressed the indicating light
will illuminate. If the switch is
pressed once again, it will switch to
“OFF”, and the operation indicating
light will go out.
Do not use this switch while the
engine is stopped. Due to high
power consumption, the battery can
be discharged.
Turn off the switch as soon as
defogging is complete.

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.
For safety reasons, do not place
packages, tools, or other items in
the driver ’s area that may restrict
access to the controls or sight of the
gauges.
