cle is reversing, adjust the mirror angle at a 

desired position with the shift position in R.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and 

the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-

orized angle whenever the shift position is 

shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of 

the mirror is linked to the normal position 

(angle adjusted with the shift position in 

other than R). Therefore, if the normal posi-

tion is changed after adjustment, the tilt 

position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-

just the angle in reversing.

Using the switch

Press the switch to fold the mirrors.

Press it again to extend them to the original 
position.

Setting automatic mode

Automatic mode allows the folding or 
extending of the mirrors to be linked to 

locking/unlocking of the doors.
Press the “AUTO” switch to set auto-
matic mode.

The indicator 

 will come on.

Pressing the switch once more will return 
to manual mode.

When disconnecting and reconnecting 

12-volt battery terminals

The automatic folding/extending mirror 

function will return to off as default. To turn 

the function on, press the switch again to 

select on.

Using automatic mode in cold weather

When automatic mode is used in cold 

weather, the door mirror could freeze up 

and automatic stowing and return may not 

be possible. In this case, remove any ice and 

snow from the door mirror, then either 

operate the mirror using manual mode or 

move the mirror by hand.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

Closing the windows

The driver is responsible for all the 

power window operations, including 

the operation for the passengers. In 

order to prevent accidental operation, 

especially by a child, do not let a child 

operate the power windows. It is possi-

ble for children and other passengers 

to have body parts caught in the power 

window. Also, when riding with a child, 

it is recommended to use the window 

lock switch. (

P.156)

Check to make sure that all passen-

gers do not have any part of their body 

in a position where it could be caught 

when a window is being operated.

When using the wireless remote con-

trol or mechanical key and operating 

the power windows, operate the 

power window after checking to make 

sure that there is no possibility of any 

passenger having any of their body 

parts caught in the window. Also do 

not let a child operate window by the 

wireless remote control or mechanical 

key. It is possible for children and other 

passengers to get caught in the power 

window.

When exiting the vehicle, turn the 

power switch off, carry the key and exit 

the vehicle along with the child. There 

may be accidental operation, due to 

mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to 

an accident.

Jam protection function

Never use any part of your body to 

intentionally activate the jam protec-

tion function.

The jam protection function may not 

work if something gets jammed just 

before the window is fully closed. Be 

careful not to get any part of your body 

jammed in the window.

Catch protection function

Never use any part of your body or 

clothing to intentionally activate the 

catch protection function.
