■ Rain clearing mirrors (if equipped)
Water droplets that have collected on the mirror surface are spread out by a
coating that has a rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect, making the rear view
clearer during rainy weather.
When dirt, dust, etc. collect on the mirror surface the rain clearing effect will
be temporarily reduced, however the mirrors have a function that will chemi-
cally break down any dirt, dust, etc. that is attached to it with exposure to
direct sunlight, gradually restoring the rain clearing effect.
●
In the following cases, the rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily,
but will gradually be restored after 1 or 2 days’ exposure to direct sunlight
during sunny weather. If it is desirable to restore the function quickly, per-
form the rain clearing effect restoration operations. (

your vehicle

restored.

face

gers. (
