SPA2450-A
Automatic anti-glare type
The inside mirror is designed so that it
automatically changes reflection according
to the intensity of the headlights of the
following vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is pushed
to the ON position.
The anti-glare system also operates for the
outside mirrors (if so equipped).
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the
indicator light
will illuminate and excessive
glare from the headlights of the vehicle
behind you will be reduced.
Push the “*” switch
to make the inside mirror operate normally. The indicator light
will turn off. Push the “I” switch
to turn the
system on.
Do not allow any object to cover the sensors
or apply glass cleaner on them. Doing so
will reduce the sensitivity of the sensor,
resulting in improper operation.
For the HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver
operation, see “HomeLink®Universal Trans-
ceiver” (P.2-57).
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
JVP0246X
Adjusting outside mirrors
The outside mirror control switch is located
on the driver’s armrest.
The outside mirror will operate only when
the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.
Move the switch
right or left to select the
right or left side mirror, then adjust using the
control switch
.
Defrosting outside mirrors
The outside mirrors will be heated when the
rear window defroster switch is operated.
If the engine is started using the remote start
function (if so equipped) when the outside

air temperature, the interior temperature
and the engine coolant temperature are
low, the rear window glass and outside
mirror defroster may turn on automatically.
For additional information about the remote
engine start function, see “Remote engine
start” (P.3-19).
SPA1829
Foldable outside mirrors
Fold the outside mirror by pushing it toward
the rear of the vehicle.
Reverse tilt-down feature (if so
equipped)
When backing up the vehicle, the right and
left outside mirrors will turn downward
automatically to provide better rear visibility.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ONposition.
2. Move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position.
3. Select the right or left side mirror by operating the outside mirror control switch.
4. The outside mirror surface moves down- ward.
When one of the following conditions has
occurred, the outside mirror surface will
return to its original position.
. The shift lever is moved to any position
other than R (Reverse).
. The outside mirror control switch is set to
the center position.
. The ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Automatic anti-glare (if so
equipped)
The outside mirrors are designed so that
they automatically change reflection ac-
cording to the intensity of the headlights of
the vehicle following you.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position.

5-16Starting and driving
For additional information about the remote
engine start function, see “Remote engine
start” (P.3-19).AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The automatic transmission in your vehicle is
electronically controlled by a transmission
control module to produce maximum effi-
ciency and smooth operation.
Shown on the following pages are the
recommended operating procedures for this
transmission. Follow these procedures for
maximum vehicle performance and driving
enjoyment.
Starting the vehicle
After starting the engine, fully depress the
foot brake pedal and push the shift lever
button before shifting the shift lever to the R
(Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive) or Manual
shift mode position. Be sure the vehicle is
fully stopped before attempting to shift the
shift lever.
This Automatic Transmission (AT) model is
designed so that the foot brake pedal must
be depressed before shifting from P (Park)
to any drive position while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The shift lever cannot be moved out of the P
(Park) position and into any of the other
gear positions if the ignition switch is placed
in the LOCK, OFF or ACC position.
1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed andpush the shift lever button to shift into a
driving gear. 2. Release the parking brake and foot
brake, then gradually start the vehicle in
motion.
WARNING
.Do not depress the accelerator pedal
while shifting from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or
manual shift mode. Always depress
the brake pedal until shifting is
completed. Failure to do so could
cause you to lose control and have
an accident.
. Cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward
or reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.
. Never shift to either P (Park) or R
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is
moving forward and P (Park) or D
(Drive) position while the vehicle is
moving reversing. This could cause an
accident or damage the transmission.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-
pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.
