Rear sunshade
Reverse operation feature
This function will become operational after the vehicle has been driven at
15 km/h (9 mph) or more with the rear sunshade in the raised position.
To ensure adequate rear visibility, the sunshade automatically lowers when
the shift lever is shifted to R and the function is in an operational condition.
However, the rear sunshade is raised again if either of the following occurs:
The switch is pressed again.
The shift lever is shifted out of R, and the vehicle reaches a speed of 15
km/h (9 mph).
If the engine is turned off when the rear sunshade has been lowered due to
the reverse operation feature, it will not be raised even when the engine is
turned on again and the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 km/h (9 mph). To raise
the sunshade again, press the switch.
The rear sunshade can be used when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The rear sunshade can be raised and lowered by operating the switch
shown below.
