To reduce the glareType 1The lever (A) at the bottom of th
e mirror can be used to adjust
the mirror to reduce the glare
from the headlamps of vehicles
behind you during night driving.
Type 2When the headlamps of the vehicles behind you are verybright, the reflection factor of
the rear-view mirror is automati-
cally changed to
reduce the glare.
Normally, use the automatic mo
de. When the switch (1) is
pressed, the indicator (2) illu
minates and the reflection factor
of the mirror is automatically changed.NOTE●
Do not hang items on, or spray glass cleaner on the sensor (3), as reduced sensitivity could result.

Outside rear-view mirrors
E00600900484
Compound curved-surface mirror*On the driver’s side, a compound curved-surface mirror is used, while on the front passenger’s side, a single curved-sur- face mirror is used. While the single curved-surface
mirror has a fixed curvature,
the compound curved-surface mirr
or has different curvatures
between the inner and outer sides of the boundary line (A).The inner side of the boundary line provides the same vision as that available from an ordinary door mirror. However, the outer side of the boundary line provides a widerangle of vision compared to an ordinary door mirror.
To adjust the mirror position
E00601000105
The outside rear-view mirrors can
be operated when the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.

WARNING
!●
The sense of distance that
you get from an object
you see on the inner side of
the mirror boundary line
differs from the sense of distance that you get from an object you see on the outer side. An object you see on the
outer side of the boundary
line of the mirror will look farther away than actu- ally is as compared with
an object you see on the
inner side.WARNING
!●
Do not attempt to adjust the rear-view mirrors while driving. This can be dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors before driving.
●
Your vehicle is equipped
with convex type mirrors.
Please take into considera
tion, that objects you see
in the mirror will look
smaller and farther away
compared to a normal flat mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate distance of follow- ing vehicles when changing lanes.

Retracting and extending the mirrors using the mirror retractor switchWith the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position, push the mirror retractor switch to retract the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions. After placing the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position, it ispossible to retract and extend the mirrors using the mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds.
NOTE●
Be careful not to get your hands trapped while a mirror is moving.
●
If you move a mirror by hand or it moves after hitting a person or object, you may not be able to return it to its original position using the mirr
or retractor switch. If this
happens, push the mirror retract
or switch to place the mir-
ror in its retracted position a
nd then push the switch again
to return the mirror to its original position.
●
If the battery voltage is low
and you start the engine while
extending the mirrors, the mirrors may stop part-way. If this happens, push the mirror retractor switch to retract themirrors and then push the switch again to extend them.
●
When freezing has occurred an
d mirrors fail to operate as
intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of theretractor switch as this action
can result in burn-out of the
mirror motor circuits.
CAUTION
!●
It is possible to retract and extend the mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror using the mirrorretractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by hand after retracting it using theswitch, it would not properly lock in position. As a result, it could move beca
use of the wind or vibra-
tion while you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.

soon as the engine starts
to avoid damaging the starter motor.
●
If your vehicle is equipp
ed with a turbocharger, do
not stop the engine immedi
ately after high-speed or
uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
