MIRRORS

Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the centre on the
view through the rear window.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.

Make this adjustment before you
start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlamps of

rearview clarity in the night position.

not obstructed. Do not place
objects in the rear seat, cargo
area, or behind the rear head-
rests which could interfere with
your vision through the rear
window.

To prevent serious injury during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror whilst
driving. This may cause loss of

The ignition switch must be in the ON
position to be able to raise or lower
the windows. Each door has a power
window switch to control that door's
window. The driver has a power win-
dow lock switch which can block the
operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ACC
or OFF position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power win-
dows cannot be operated even with-
in the 30 second period.Information
• In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• Whilst driving with the rear win-
dows down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) opened (or partially
opened), your vehicle may demon-
strate a wind buffeting or pulsation
noise. This noise is normal and can
be reduced or eliminated by taking
the following actions. If the noise
occurs with one or both of the rear
windows down, partially lower both
front windows approximately one
inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof.

Automatic reversal (if equipped)
If a window senses any obstacle
whilst it is closing automatically, it will
stop and lower approximately 30 cm
(12 inches) to allow the object to be
cleared.

whilst the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window
will stop upward movement then
lower approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch).
If the power window switch is pulled
up continuously again within 5 sec-
onds after the window is lowered by
