The mirrors can be adjusted when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION
ON mode.
When the mirrors are fogged up
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. (P. 264)
One-touch adjustment of the mirror angle
(vehicles with driving position memory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and adjusted with the
touch of a button. (P. 6 6 )
Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position
memory)
The outside rear view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the
vehicle is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However,
this function will not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral
position (between “L” and “R”).
Auto anti-glare function (vehicles with auto anti-glare mirror)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the
outside rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare
inside rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 8 2 )
Rain clearing mirrors (if equipped)
When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it
rains, the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets
to be spread out into a film making the rear view clearer. In the following
cases, the rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, but will return
after 1 or 2 days' exposure to direct sunlight.
After wiping dirt off the mirrors
When the mirrors fog up
After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in underground
parking lots, etc. where there is no direct sunlight

Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly.
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an air-
bag sensor.
In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag
system triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the
inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants. Knee airbags
