GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.

■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically by the
driving position memory. ( P. 178)
■Auto anti-glare function
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside rear

■Using automatic mode in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event, remove any ice and snowfrom the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual mode or move the mir-
ror by hand.

Observe the following precautions while driving. Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
●Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
●Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly adjusted before driving.
■When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your hand caught by the moving mirror.

GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
■Conditions in which the light distribution control of the headlights changes automati-
cally
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned on automat- ically and the system will operate:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.*
*: The area in the direction that the vehicl e is turning will be illuminated more brightly
than other areas while driving on a curve.
●When all of the following conditions are met, the variable high beams will turn on and the distance that the low be ams are projected will be adjusted automatically, depending
on the location of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions is met, the high beams or variable high beams will be
changed to the low beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approximately 60 km/h (37 mph). • The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• There are many vehicles ahead. • Vehicles ahead are moving quickly and the high beams may blind the drivers of theother vehicles.
■Camera sensor detection information
●The high beams may not be automatically changed to the variable high beams in thefollowing situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve • When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves, road dividers or
roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to the variable high beams if a vehicle ahead that isusing fog lights without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may cause the high beams to change to the variable high beams, cause the high beams not tochange to the variable high beams, or change the area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog light s, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side

●In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately detect sur- rounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the highbeams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles ahead or other parties. In these
cases, manually switch between the high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.) • The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged. • The camera sensor is deformed or dirty.• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
