1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
■The mirrors can be adjusted when
The ignition switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
■Rain clearing mirrors
When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it rains, the
rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets to be spread out
into a film making the rear view clearer. In the following cases, the rain clearing
effect will be reduced temporarily, but wi ll return after 1 or 2 days' exposure to
direct sunlight.
●After wiping dirt off the mirrors
●When the mirrors fog up
●After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in underground parking
lots etc. where there is no direct sunlight
■When the mirrors are fogged up
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( P. 2 0 1 )
CAUTION
■When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
●Do not drive with the mirrors folded back.
●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.
■When the mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfac es, as they can become very hot and burn
you.
