Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-39
• Close the sunshade (if so equipped) whenthe Smart Rear View Mirror display screen
is unclear due to the strong external light.
• When LED headlights are viewed on the Smart Rear View Mirror display, the im-
ages may flicker. This is normal.
• Due to diffuse reflection from external en- vironment, images on the screen may
flicker. This is not a malfunction.
• A quick movement of an object may not be able to display on the camera view screen.
This is not a malfunction.
• Turn on the headlights at twilight or in a tunnel, etc.
• The Smart Rear View Mirror mode (cam- era view mode) display is different from
the conventional rearview mirror. Objects
in the display may differ from actual dis-
tance. Do not solely rely on the Smart Rear
View Mirror. Always rely on your own op-
eration to avoid accidents.
• Eyestrain may occur if he brightness of the camera view display is adjusted to an ex-
cessively bright level. Adjust the bright-
ness properly to avoid eyestrain. • Use the rear window wiper when it rains. If
the camera view image is still unclear when
the rear window wiper is in operation,
check the deterioration of the rear win-
dow wiper blade.
• When using the rear window wiper, image on the screen may flicker. This is not a
malfunction.
• Defog rear window with defroster when rear window is fogged. Use the conven-
tional rearview mirror mode until the rear
window is fully defogged.
• The display of the Smart Rear View Mirror may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
• The color of an object in the distance or in the dark may be difficult to recognize. This
is not a malfunction.
System maintenance (Smart Rear View Mir-
ror):
• Always keep the mirror and camera area of the rear window clean.
• Clean the mirror and the camera lens with dry soft cloth.
• When cleaning the camera area of the rear window, use a soft cloth dampened with a
little neutral detergent. Dry with a soft
cloth. • If the image on the Smart Rear View Mirror
display screen is still unclear even after
cleaning the camera area of the rear win-
dow, an oil film may be adhering to the rear
window glass. Clean the rear window glass
with an oil film remover.
• Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, or any similar material to clean the mirror or cam-
era lens. It will cause a discoloration, dete-
rioration or a system malfunction.

3-40Pre-driving checks and adjustments
If one of the mirrors are manually operated or
bumped, the mirror body can become loose
at the pivot point. To correct electronic mirror
operation, cycle the mirrors by pushing the
switch
O1until completely closed, then push
the switch again until the mirrors are in the
open position
Automatic anti-glare outside mirror
(if so equipped)
The outside mirror will automatically dim dur-
ing nighttime conditions to reduce the glare
from the headlights of trailing vehicles. The
automatic anti-glare feature operates only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
The automatic anti-glare feature will be on
when starting the vehicle. The indicator light
on the automatic anti-glare rearview mirror
will illuminate when the automatic anti-glare
feature is operating.
For additional information, see “Automatic
anti-glare rearview mirror” (P. 3-33).
Heated mirrors
The electric control type outside mirrors can
be heated to defrost, defog, or de-ice for
improved visibility. For additional informa-
tion, see “Rear window and outside mirror (if
so equipped) defroster switch” (P. 4-32).
Reverse tilt-down feature
The reverse tilt-down feature will turn the
selected left or right mirror surface down-
ward to provide better rear visibility close to
the vehicle. The mirror control switch must be
in either the L or R position.
The mirror automatically returns to the origi-
nal position when you shift out of R (Reverse).
The outside mirror surface will return to the
original position when one of the following
conditions has occurred:
• The shift lever is moved to any position other than R (Reverse).
• The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
• The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. The reverse tilt position can be changed.
While in R (Reverse), adjust the glass position
to the desired location. The next time the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse), the glass
position will go to the newly set position.
Additionally, the changed reverse tilt position
can be saved to a memory seat position. After
the reverse tilt glass position has been
changed, vehicle is shifted back into park and
glass has returned to the original position,
push the Set switch and press the desired
memory switch (1 or 2) to assign the new
reverse tilt position memory.
NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in the
center position, the mirror surface will NOT
turn downward when the shift lever is
moved to R (Reverse).
For additional information, see “Memory
seat” (P. 3-43).

WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The apparent distance viewed
on the monitor may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.
• Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-
eye view as a reference. The lines and the
bird’s-eye view are greatly affected by
the number of occupants, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition
and road grade. •
If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines and
the bird's-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than
they appear. When driving the vehicle
down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are closer than they appear.
• Objects in the rear view will appear visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the monitor and outside mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
• The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
