Auto tilt away
When the ignition key is removed, the steering column
moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for easy
exit and entry.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, the steering
column returns to the previously set position.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object
seen in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side.
It is a convex mirror with a curved surface. Any object seen
in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if
seen in a normal flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in ªAUTOº mode,
the outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the
reflection of the headlights of the following vehicle. For
details, see ªInside rear view mirrorº on page 64.
