The adjusted angle will be memo-
rized and the mirror will automati-
cally tilt to the memorized angle
whenever the shift lever is shifted to
R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt posi-
tion of the mirror is linked to the nor-

position will also change.
When the normal position is

Driving
WARNING
●Always apply the parking brake,
shift the shift lever to P, stop the
engine and lock the vehicle.Do
not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is run-
ning.If the vehicle is parked with
the shift lever in P but the park-
ing brake is not set, the vehicle
may start to move, possibly
leading to an accident.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes
while the engine is running or
immediately after turning the
engine off.Doing so may cause
burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehi-
cle
Always turn the engine off. Other-
wise, if you accidentally move the
shift lever or dep ress the acceler-
ator pedal, this could cause an
accident or fire due to engine
overheating. Additionally, if the
vehicle is parked in a poorly venti-
lated area, exhaust gases may
collect and enter the vehicle, lead-
ing to death or a serious health
hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes a re wet, drive
more cautiously.Braking dis-
tance increases when the
brakes are wet, and this may
cause one side of the vehicle to
brake differently than the other
side. Also, the parking brake
may not securely hold the vehi-
cle.
●If the brake booster device does
not operate, do not follow other
vehicles closely and avoid hills
or sharp turns t hat require brak-
ing.In this case, braking is still
possible, but the brake pedal
should be depressed more
firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have
your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if
the engine stalls.Each push on
the brake pedal uses up the
reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2
individual hydraulic systems; if
one of the systems fails, the
other will still operate. In this
case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than
usual and the braking distance
will increase. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
(AWD models)
Do not spin the wheels exces-
sively when any of the tires is up
in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, etc. This may damage
the driveline components or pro-
pel the vehicle forward or back-
ward, causing an accident.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during driving, as this may
restrain the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator
pedal or depress the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time to hold the vehicle on
a hill.
