AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE INSIDE
MIRROR
The inside mirror is designed so that it automati-
cally changes reflection according to the intensity
of the headlights of the vehicle following you.
When the inside mirror switch is in the AUTO
position, excessive glare from the headlights of
the vehicle behind you will be reduced. TheAUTO indicator light will be on. When the switch
on the inside mirror is in the OFF position, the
inside mirror will operate normally.
Do not hang any object on the sensor or
apply glass cleaner. Doing so will reduce
the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in
improper operation.

The outside mirror remote control will operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.

jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
cThe rear view camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up . Always
back up slowly.
cObjects viewed in the rear view monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the
rear view monitor will appear visually
opposite than when viewed in the rear
view and outside mirrors.
cMake sure that the back door is se-
curely closed when backing up.
cDo not put anything on the rear view
camera. The rear view camera is in-
stalled beside the license plate light.cWhen washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.
cDo not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.
