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.
(Driver's Side Wide Angle Mirror (Some Models))
The wide angle mirror has two curvatures on its surface separated by a region line into outer and inner regions. The inner region is a standard convex mirror whereas the outer region allows for a wider range of visibility within the same sweep. This combination allows for better assurance when making lane changes.
The perceived distance of objects in the outer and inner regions of the wide angle mirror is different. Objects appearing in the outer region are actually further away than they are in the inner region.
Power mirror adjustment
The ignition must be switched to ACC or ON position.
To adjust:
Rotate the mirror switch to the left or right
to choose the left or right side mirror.
Press the mirror switch in the appropriate direction.
After adjusting the mirror, lock the control by rotating the switch to the centre position.
Folding 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.
Manually fold the outside mirror rearward until it is flush with the vehicle.
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.
Press the ON/OFF button to cancel the auto-dimming function. The indicator light will turn off.
To reactivate the auto-dimming function, press the ON/OFF button . The indicator light will illuminate.
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).
