The engine switch is in the ACC or ON position.
■ When the mirrors are fogged up (veh icles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers)
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( P. 240)
■ Rain clearing mirrors
The rain clearing mirrors have been coated to spread the raindrops evenly
into a thin film (hydrophilic effect) when they adhere to the mirror surface,
clearing the driver’s rear view.
■ In the following cases, the rain clear ing effect will be reduced tempo-
rarily, but will recover by exposing the mirrors to bright direct sunlight
for 1 or 2 days
● After wiping dirt off the mirrors
● When the mirrors fog up
● After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
● After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in a place with no
direct sunlight, such as under ground parking lots
CAUTION

Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an acci-
dent, 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.

window travel is stopped and the window is opened slightly.
