Outside rear view mirror
Be sure to adjust the mirror angles before driving.
The mirrors can be adjusted remotely with the control levers or remote switch, depending on the type of mirror control installed. The mirror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during an automatic car wash or when passing through a narrow street.
Rear view mirrors
-
The outside rear view mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
-
Use your interior rear view mirror or direct observation to determine the actual distance of following vehicles when changing lanes.
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict the movement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with warm water.
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved spray de-icer (not radiator antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Do not adjust or fold the outside rear view mirrors whilst the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, or property damage.
Adjusting the outside rear view mirrors
The electric remote control mirror switch allows you to adjust the position of the left and right outside rear view mirrors.
Adjusting the rear view mirrors:
-
Move the R or L switch (1) to select the right side mirror or the left side mirror.
-
Press a corresponding point on the mirror adjustment control (2) to position the selected mirror up, down, left or right.
-
The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjusting angles, but the motor continues to operate whilst the switch is pressed. Do not press the switch longer than necessary, the motor may be damaged.
-
Do not attempt to adjust the outside rear view mirror by hand. Doing so may damage the parts.
Folding the outside rear view mirror
Manual type (if equipped)
To fold the outside rearview mirror, grasp the housing of the mirror and then fold it toward the rear of the vehicle.
Electric type (if equipped)
The outside rear view mirror can be folded or unfolded by pressing the switch when the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON position as below.
-
To fold the outside rear view mirror depress the button.
-
To unfold it, depress the button again.
The electric type outside rear view mirror operates even though the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is in the LOCK or OFF position. However, to prevent unnecessary battery discharge, do not adjust the mirrors longer than necessary whilst the engine is not running.
In case it is an electric type outside rear view mirror, don't fold it by hand. It could cause motor failure.
Automatic adjustment of rearview mirrors in reverse (Auto reverse) (if equipped)
When you shift the gear to the R (Reverse) position, the outside rearview mirror(s) will rotate downwards to aid with driving in reverse.
The position of the outside rearview mirror switch (1) determines whether or not the mirrors will move:
Left/Right: When either the L (Left) or R (Right) switch is selected, both outside rearview mirrors will move.
Neutral: When neither switch is selected, the outside rearview mirrors will not move.
The outside rearview mirrors will automatically revert to their original positions if any of the following occur:
-
The ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is placed to either the LOCK/OFF position or the ACC position.
-
The gear is shifted to any position except R (Reverse).
-
The remote control outside rearview mirror switch is not selected.
Auto reverse user settings
If you cannot secure enough visibility with the angles provided as factory default conditions, you can readjust and store the angles of outside rearview mirrors.
The factory default angles of the right and left rearview mirrors might be set differently to improve visibility.
-
Set the shift dial to P (Parking). Make sure that the vehicle is stopped and the mirrors are not working.
-
Position the lever to L (left) or R (right) depending on the mirror that you want to adjust.
-
Step on the brake pedal and turn the shift dial to R (Reverse).
-
When the downward movement of the rearview mirror is finished, adjust the mirror to the desired angle by pressing the switches, ▼, ▲, ◀, ▶.
-
If you change the shift dial to a position other than R (Reverse), or change the rearview mirror selector lever to the neutral position, and the automatic return of the mirror is finished, the adjusted angle will be automatically saved.
-
You can adjust the rearview mirror on the other side by following the same procedures (1-5).
How to initialize auto reverse user settings
If you want to change the automatic control function of rearview mirrors to factory-default conditions, follow the steps below.
-
Position the shift dial to P (Park). Make sure that the vehicle is stopped and the mirror is not working.
-
Choose the mirror to be adjusted by positioning the lever to L (left) or R (right).
-
Step on the brake pedal and turn the shift dial to R (Reverse).
-
When the downward movement of the rearview mirror is finished, press the switch ▲ to locate the mirror in the position higher than before (P, N or D).
(Adjust the mirror in the higher position compared to its position in the driving mode)
-
It is initialized when the shift dial is changed to a position other than R (Reverse), or the rearview mirror selector lever is changed to the neutral position. (Initialized position will be applied from next operation)
-
You can initialize settings for the mirror on the other side by following the same procedures (1-5).
We recommend following the procedures in an orderly manner to change or initialize the auto reversing user settings.
If you move to the next step before completing the previous one, the changed angle may not be changed or initialization may not work properly
