The electric rearview mirror automat-
ically controls the glare from the
headlights of the vehicles behind you
in nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from the 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 auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle. To operate the electric rearview mirror:

tion whenever the ignition switch is

tion off. The mirror indicator light

REAR CAMERA DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
- Rear camera display
The rear camera display is not a
safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the mid-
dle of the vehicle. The camera
does NOT cover the complete
area behind the vehicle. While
the camera's display is general-
ly accurate, objects can be
much closer than they appear in
the display screen and can be
distorted in both size and pro-
portion.
OPS043050
OPS043051
WARNING - Relying on
the Rear-Camera Display
Never rely solely on the rear
camera display when backing.
You must always use methods
of viewing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficul-
ty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
