The day/night knob (A) at the bottom of the mirror can be used to adjust the mirror to reduce the glare from the headlights of vehi- cles behind you during night driving.
When the headlights of the vehicles behind you are very bright, the reflection factor of the rearview mirror is automatically changed to reduce the glare. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put inON, the reflection factor of the mirror is auto- matically changed.
When the headlights of the vehicles behind you are very bright, the reflection factor of the rearview mirror is automatically changed to reduce the glare. Normally, use the automatic mode. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON, the green indicator (1) illuminates and the reflection factor of the mirror is automatically changed.

The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and relative speed to a vehi
cle and a pedestrian in
front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-matic driving system or
as a collision avoid-
ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicleor a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
