ror select switch is selected, the
outside rear view mirrors will
automatically angle downwards
when the vehicle is reversing in
order to give a better view of the
ground.
To disable this function, select
neither “L” nor “R”.
■Adjusting the mirror angle
when the vehicle is revers-
ing
With the shift lever in R, adjust
the mirror angle at a desired
position.
The adjusted angle will be mem-
orized and the mirror will auto-
matically tilt to the memorized
angle whenever the shift lever is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized do wnward tilt posi-
tion of the mirror is linked to the
normal position (angle adjusted
with the shift posi tion in other than
R). Therefore, if the normal position
is changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is
changed, readjust the angle in
reversing.

or GAWR.
●If the gross trailer weight is over
2000 lb. (900 kg), a sway con-
trol device with sufficient capac-
ity is required.
●If the gross trailer weight is over
5000 lb. (2200 kg), a weight dis-
tributing hitch with sufficient
capacity is required.
●Adjust the tongue weight within
the appropriate range. Place
heavier loads as close to the

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver for
lane changing decision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or is approaching rapidly
from behind into a blind spot. Do
not overly rely on the Blind Spot
Monitor. As the function cannot
judge if it is safe to change lanes,
over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.
