Mirrors

Mirrors

Before driving, adjust the inside and outside mirrors.

Outside Mirrors

 


Be sure to look over your shoulder before changing lanes:

Changing lanes without taking into account the actual distance of the vehicle in the convex mirror is dangerous. You could have a serious accident. What you see in the convex mirror is closer than it appears.

Mirror type

Flat type (driver's side)

Flat surface mirror.

Convex type (front passenger side)

The mirror has single curvature on its surface.

Power mirror adjustment

The ignition must be switched to ACC or ON position.

 

To adjust:

  1. Rotate the mirror switch to the left or right to choose the left or right side mirror.

  2. Press the mirror switch in the appropriate direction.

     

After adjusting the mirror, lock the control by rotating the switch to the centre position.

Folding outside mirror

 


Always return the outside mirrors to the driving position before you start driving:

Driving with the outside mirrors folded in is dangerous. Your rear view will be restricted, and you could have an accident.

Do not touch a power folding outside mirror while it is moving:

Touching the power folding outside mirror when it is moving is dangerous. Your hand could be pinched and injured or the mirror could be damaged.

Use the switch to set the mirror to the on-road position:

Setting the power folding outside mirror to the on-road position by hand is dangerous. The mirror will not lock in position and will prevent effective rearview visibility.

Only operate the power folding outside mirror with the vehicle safely parked:

Operating the power folding outside mirror while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Wind blast on the mirror will cause them to collapse and you will be unable to return it to the on-road position, preventing rearview visibility.

The ignition must be switched to ACC or ON position.

 

To fold the mirrors, press the lower side of the outside mirror folding switch.

To return the mirrors to their on-road positions, press the upper side of the outside mirror folding switch.

 

Automatic folding function (Some Models)

The automatic folding function operates when the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF.

When the outside mirror automatic folding switch is pressed to the AUTO position (neutral position), the outside mirrors automatically fold in and out when the doors are locked and unlocked.

Also, when the ignition is switched ON or the engine is started, the outside mirrors fold out automatically.

 


The outside mirrors may not fold in and out automatically under cold weather conditions.

If the outside mirrors do not fold in and out automatically, remove any ice or snow, and then press the upper or lower side of the outside mirror automatic folding switch to fold the outside mirrors in or out.

Engine-off outside mirror operation

The outside mirrors can be operated for about 40 seconds after the ignition is switched from ON to off.

Rearview Mirror

 


Do not stack cargo or objects higher than the seatbacks:

Cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. It can block your view in the rearview mirror, which might cause you to hit another car when changing lanes.

Rearview mirror adjustment

Before driving, adjust the rearview mirror to centre on the scene through the rear window.

 

 


For the manual antidazzle mirror, perform the adjustment with the antidazzle lever in the day position.

Reducing glare from headlights

Manual antidazzle mirror

Push the antidazzle lever forward for day driving. Pull it back to reduce glare of headlights from vehicles at the rear.

 

Auto-dimming mirror

The auto-dimming mirror automatically reduces the glare of headlights from vehicles at the rear when the ignition is switched ON.

 


  • Do not use glass cleaner or suspend objects on or around the light sensor. Otherwise, light sensor sensitivity will be affected and may not operate normally.

     

  • The auto-dimming function is cancelled when the ignition is switched ON and the shift/selector lever is in reverse (R).
