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 mirrors with reverse tilt down function (Some Models)

The outside mirrors tilt downward to facilitate the view of the lower area on each side of the vehicle.

  1. Switch the ignition ON.

  2. Press the select switch for the outside mirror to be tilted downward to turn on the indicator light of the select switch.

  3. Shift the shift lever/selector lever to the R position to tilt the outer mirror on the side where the select button was pressed downward.

 


When any of the following condition is met, the outer mirrors return to their normal positions.

  • The ignition is switched to a position other than ON.

  • The shift lever/selector lever is shifted to a position other than R.

  • The select switch is pressed again.

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.

Manually fold the outside mirror rearward until it is flush with the vehicle.

Engine-off outside mirror operation

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

Driver's side auto-dimming outside mirror (Some Models)

The movement of the auto-dimming outside mirror is interlocked with the auto-dimming rearview mirror in the interior to automatically reduce glare from rear on-coming vehicles.

Refer to Rearview Mirror (Search).

 


The front passenger-side outside mirror does not have the auto-dimming feature.

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

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