OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
16sa09
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object seen in a convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in ”AUTO” mode, the
outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the reflection
of the headlights of the following vehicle. For details, see
”Inside rear view mirror” on page 102.
When you push the rear window defogger switch or turn on the
wipers at lower than 25
C (77 F) of the outside temperature,
the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly
clear the mirror surface. For details, see “Rear window and
outside rear view mirror defogger switch” on page 28.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the
vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in death
or serious injuries.
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogger switch is on. And do not touch the
mirror surfaces also when the wiper switch is on at
lower than 25
C (77 F) of the outside temperature.
