erly, do not touch or cover them.
Hold and rotate the mirror to adjust the
support.

Operation of each component
From inside (if equipped)
Press the switch to fold the mir-
rors.
Press it again to extend them to
the original position.
The mirrors can be manually slid
outward to improve visibility
around wide trailers.
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the ou tside rear
view mirrors will automatically a ngle downwards when the vehicl e 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 and R).
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired posi-
tion. The adjusted angle will be memorized and the mirror will auto-
matically tilt to the memorized angle whenever the shift lever is
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 lever in other than R). There-
fore, if the normal position is changed after adjustment, the t ilt position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reve rsing.

■Recommended mirror angle when to wing a trailer (vehicles with extend-
ing mirrors)
■ Mirror operating conditions (power-adjustable type)
The engine switch is in ACC or ON.
■ When the mirrors are fogged up ( vehicles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers)
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( P. 342, 349)
■ Automatic adjustment of the mirr or angle (vehicles with driving position
memory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recall ed automati-
cally by the driving position memory. ( P. 152)
■ Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the out-
side rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the an ti-glare inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 165)
Power adjust the upper part of the mir-
ror until an appropriate view is obtained.
It is recommended that the outer 2/3 of
the upper mirror be filled with images
other than the vehicle and trailer.
Manually adjust the lower part of the
mirror until an appropriate view of the
towed object is obtained. It is recom-
mended that the outer 2/3 of the lower
mirror be filled with images other than
the trailer.

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 (power-adjustable type)
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.
■ When the mirror defoggers are op erating (vehicles with outside rear
view mirror defoggers)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot
and burn you.

Driving
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 engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■ 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 accident.
• 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.
● Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. Thes e hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking contro l, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it m ore difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle a s soon as it
is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes im possible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 473
● Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 225)
● 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.
