3Automatic mirror adjustment in reverse
maneuvers (if equipped)
When the transaxle gear is shifted into
reverse (R), the outside rearview mir-
ror(s) will automatically be turned down-
ward about 5 degrees to improve driver
visibility. It will stay in that position until
the transaxle shift lever is shifted out of
reverse (R). L : Both the left and right outside
rearview mirrors will be turned
downward about 5 degrees.
R : Only the right outside rearview mirror will be turned downward
about 5 degrees.
Center : Automatic mirror adjustment function is disabled. No mirror
will be turned downward.
The outside rearview mirror(s) will return
to its previous position automatically if
outside rearview mirror selection switch
is changed to another position, or
transaxle shift lever is shifted out of
reverse (R). (Examples)
If the shift lever is shifted into reverse (R)
when the outside rearview mirror selec-
tion switch is in L, both the right and left
outside rearview mirrors will automatical-
ly be turned down about 5 degrees.
If the outside rearview mirror selection
switch is set to R while shift lever is in
reverse (R), the left outside rearview mir-
ror will return to its previous position. The
right outside rearview mirror will not
return to it’s previous position.
If the shift lever is shifted into any other
range OR the outside rearview mirror
selection switch is set to center, the right

driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position. Electric type
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.
