position
Reverse tilt-down feature
The reverse tilt-down feature will turn both
outside mirror surfaces downward to provide
better rear visibility close to the vehicle when
the mirror control switch is in either the L or R
position.
The mirrors automatically return to their
original position when you shift out of R (Re-
verse).
The outside mirror surfaces will return to
their original position when one of the fol-
lowing conditions has occurred:
∙ The shift lever is moved to any position other than R (Reverse).
∙ The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
∙ The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in the
center position, the mirror surface will NOT
turn downward when the shift lever is
moved to R (Reverse).
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in this section.
Automatic anti-glare outside mirror
(if so equipped)
The outside mirror will automatically dim dur-
ing nighttime conditions to reduce the glare
from the headlights of trailing vehicles. The
automatic anti-glare feature operates only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
The automatic anti-glare feature will be on
when starting the vehicle. The indicator light
on the automatic anti-glare rearview mirror
will illuminate when the automatic anti-glare
feature is operating.
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic anti-glare rearview mirror” in this sec-
tion.
Heated mirrors
The electric control type outside mirrors can
be heated to defrost, defog, or de-ice for
improved visibility. For additional informa-

3-36Pre-driving checks and adjustments

– When there is a lane closure due toroad repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tempo- rary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low
tire pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
The system may not function properly under
the following conditions:
∙ On roads where there are multiple paral- lel lane markers; lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
∙ On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
∙ On roads where there are sharp curves. ∙ On roads where there are sharply con-
trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing after road repairs. (The LDW system
could detect these items as lane markers.)
∙ On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
∙ When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
∙ When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
∙ When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.
∙ When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
∙ When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at sun-
rise or sunset.)
∙ When a sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 40°C [104°F]) and then started, the
LDW system may be deactivated automati-
cally, the warning systems ON indicator on
the switch will flash and the following mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display: “Unavailable: High Cabin Temp.”
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
LDW system will resume operating auto-
matically and the warning systems ON indi-
cator will stop flashing.
