the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever. Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle moving could
make the rear wheels lock up, thereby mak- ing the vehicle unstable. It could also make
the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.NOTEl If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.

brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.CAUTIONl If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re- leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-10.Parking

Compound curved-surface mirror*
On the driver’s side, a compound curved-sur-
face mirror is used, while on the front passen-
ger’s side, a single curved-surface mirror is used.
1- Compound curved-surface mirror
2- Single curved-surface mirror
While the single curved-surface mirror has a fixed curvature, the compound curved-sur- face mirror 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 or- dinary door mirror.
However, the outer side of the boundary line
provides a wider angle of vision compared to an ordinary door mirror.WARNINGl The sense of distance that you get from an
object you see on the inner side of themirror boundary line differs from the
sense of distance that you get from an ob-
ject you see on the outer side.
An object you see on the outer side of the boundary line of the mirror will look far-
ther away than actually is as compared
with an object you see on the inner side.To adjust the mirror position

outside mirrors
E00618200011
The outside mirrors can be folded in towards the side window to prevent damage whenparking in narrow areas.
CAUTIONl Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in. The lack of rearward visibility nor-mally provided the mirror could lead to an
accident.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror re- tractor switch
With 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 is possible to retract and
extend the mirrors using the mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds.CAUTIONl It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor 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 the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.
