Selects a mirror to adjust (“L”: left or
“R”: right)
Adjust the mirror up, down, in or out
using the switch
■Folding the mirrors
Push the mirror back in the direction of the
vehicle’s rear.
■ Linked mirror function when reversing (if equipped)
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the outside rear view mirrors will
automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing in order to give a better view
of the ground.
To disable this function, move the mirror select switch to the neutral position (between L and
R).
■Adjusting the mirror angle wh en the vehicle is reversing
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired position. The adjusted angle will
be memorized and the mirror will automatically tilt to the memorized angle whenever the
shift lever is shifted to R from next time. The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the normal position
(angle adjusted with the shift lever in other than R). Therefor e, if the normal position is
changed after adjustment, the tilt position will also change. When the normal position is
changed, readjust the angle in reversing.

Automatic Transmission
■Shifting the shift lever
While the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the shift lever with the
brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
■ Shift position purpose
*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving con-
ditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D positi on is recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restrict s the upper limit of the possible gear ranges,
controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.

■ Shift ranges and their functions
• Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to vehicle speed and driving
conditions. But, the gear is limited according to selected shift range.

• A lower shift range will provide greater engi ne braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine speed will also increase.
