✽✽NOTICE
 Do not activate the sensor if there are any chances the vehicle tilts by
the outward influences (for exam-
ple, ferry boat travelling, tower
parking etc.), because it could cause
the siren to sound inadvertently.
 Make sure all windows are close whilst the system operates. If not,
the sensor detects the inadvertent
movement inside the vehicle (for
example, blowing a wind or enter-
ing a butterfly) and it makes the
siren sounds.
 If boxes are piled high in the vehi- cle, the sensor may not detect the
movement behind the boxes. Also
the boxes may drop and it makes
the siren sounds.
 If the sensor is stained with for- eign matter such as cosmetics,
spray type air freshener, or spray
type window cleaner, the sensor
may not operate normally.Theft-alarm stage

tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle. To operate the electric rearview mirror:
