vehicle is moving. It may cause the
driver to mishandle the vehicle and
an accident may occur resulting in
death or serious injuries.

see the rear of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.

glare from the headlights of the vehicle
behind you during night driving.

turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the automatic function
mode.

detects light from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected
light.

the “MIRROR” switch.
To turn on the automatic function again,
push the “MIRROR” switch.
Adjust it before driving so that the rear
view is in the best condition.
When the inside air temperature is low, it
may take little longer for the mirror to
darken in response to the detection of
