compact areas.
CAUTION

INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your
vehicle in the mirror.

between AUTO and DAY.
The indicator comes on when the automatic function mode is
selected.
DAY mode: The mirror surface is normal.
AUTO mode: If the mirror detects light from the headlights
of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface darkens
slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the automatic function mode.

When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a little
longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle
and an accident may occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
To ensure correct functioning of anti±glare mirror sensors
located on both sides of the mirror, do not touch or cover
the sensors with your finger or a piece of cloth, etc.
Compass

is heading. The illustration shown above indicates the
vehicle is heading north.
Push the ªCOMPº switch to turn the compass system on
and off.
If the ignition switch was turned off with the system on, the
system
will automatically turn back on when the ignition switch
is turned on.
