Operation of each component
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62073U
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, th e outside
rear view mirrors will automati cally angle downwards when the v ehicle
is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground.
To disable this function, move the mirror select switch to the neutral
position (between “L” or “R”)
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift position in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desi red posi-
tion.
The adjusted angle will be memori zed and the mirror will automati-
cally tilt to the memorized angle whenever the shift position i s
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with the shift position in other t han R).
Therefore, if the normal position is changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reversing.
■ Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■ Rain clearing mirrors
The coating on the mirror has the rain clearing (hydrophilic) e ffect to make the
rear view clearer in raining. When water droplets collect on th e mirror surface,
this effect causes the droplets to be spread out into a film.
● The rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, when the dirt is adhered
to the mirror or after your vehicle is parked for a long time in underground or
indoor parking lots, etc., where there is no direct sunlight.
However, the effect will gradually recover after 1- or 2-day ex posure to direct
sunlight.
● If you want to restore the rain clearing effect immediately, co nduct the resto-
ration work. ( P. 353)
■ When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror d efoggers. Turn
on the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mi rror defog-
gers. ( P. 309)
■ Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recall ed automati-
cally by the driving position memory. ( P. 154)

Using automatic mode in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror co uld freeze
up and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In thi s event,
remove any ice and snow from the door mirror, then either opera te the mirror
using manual mode or move the mirror by hand.
■ Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be cha nged.
(Customizable features: P. 488)
WARNING
■Important points while driving
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
● Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
● Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
■ When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.
■ When the mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot
and burn you.
NOTICE
■ Handling the rain clearing mirror
The rain clearing effect is finite. Observe the following precautions in order
to retain the rain-clearing properties of the mirrors:
● When using water repellent, oil film remover, wax, or any other car mainte-
nance product that contains silicone, pay full attention not to adhere it to
the mirror surface.
● Do not wipe the mirror surface by using any cloth smeared with sand, oil
film remover, abrasive agent, or any other thing that may scrat ch the mir-
ror surface.
● When the mirrors become iced up, remove the ice by applying war m
water, or operating the outside rear view mirror defoggers.
But, do not attempt to scrape the ice off by using the plastic plate, etc.
● When washing your vehicle using car shampoo with water repellen t effect,
rinse the mirror surface with a lot of water, and remove the wa ter drops by
using a clean and soft cloth.

Driving

■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 295)
■ For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that fuel cell vehicles are similar to conventiona l vehicles, and it
is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden accelera tion. (P. 102)
■ Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the r ain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properl y.
■ Restraining the fuel cell system output (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
fuel cell system output may be restrained.
● A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating. If a warning message is shown on the multi -information
display, read the message and follow the instructions.
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)
● When the following unusual operation is performed, the fuel cel l system out-
put may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to
R with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning message appears on
the multi-information display. If a warning message is shown on the multi-
information display, read the message and follow the instructio ns.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too while the vehicle is in
reverse.
● While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trou-
ble escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, deactiva te TRAC
(  P. 296) to cancel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may b ecome
able to escape from the mud or fresh snow.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY”
indicator is illuminated. This prevents the vehicle from creepi ng.
■ When driving the vehicle
● Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the b rake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an ac cident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to di fficulty
in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals proper ly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving t he
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
● The driver should pay extra attention to pedestrians when the fuel cell sys-
tem is on. As there are no engine sounds, pedestrians may misju dge the
vehicle’s movement.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the fuel cell system. Tu rning the fuel
cell system off while driving will not cause loss of steering o r braking con-
trol, however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will make it
more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
In the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the
vehicle in the normal way: P. 409
● Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
● Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.
