■

When adjusting the seat position

●

Take care when adjusting the seat

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving

seat.

●

When adjusting the rear seat with an

■

Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap

belt during a collision, do not recline the

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may

slide past the hips and apply restraint

forces directly to the abdomen, or your

neck may contact the shoulder belt,

increasing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while

driving as the seat may unexpectedly

move and cause the driver to lose control

of the vehicle.

Digital Rearview Mirror

The Digital Rearview Mirror is a
system that uses the camera on the
rear of the vehicle and displays its
image on the display of the Digital
Rearview Mirror.

The Digital Rearview Mirror can be
changed between optical mirror
mode and digital mirror mode by
operating the lever.

The Digital Rearview Mirror allows
the driver to see the rear view
despite obstructions, such as the
head restraints, luggage or rear
sunshade ensuring rear visibility.
Also, the rear seats are not dis-
played and privacy of the passen-
gers is enhanced.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

Before using the Digital Rearview

Mirror

●

Make sure to adjust the mirror before

driving. (

When using the Digital Rearview Mir-

ror in digital mirror mode

●

If it is difficult to see the displayed image

due to light reflected off the Digital Rear-

view Mirror, the camera being dirty, or if

lights of a vehicle behind your vehicle or

the displayed image are bothering you,

change to optical mirror mode.

●

When the trunk is open, the Digital Rear-

view Mirror image may not display prop-

erly. Before driving, make sure the trunk

is closed.

●

If the display is difficult to see due to

reflected light, close the sunshade for the

moon roof or the electronic sunshade for

the panoramic moon roof.

●

Any of the following conditions may

occur when driving in the dark, such as at

night. None of them indicates that a mal-

function has occurred.

• Colors of objects in the displayed image

may differ from their actual color.

• Depending on the height of the lights of

the vehicle behind, the area around the

vehicle may appear white and blurry.

• Automatic image adjustment for brighter

surrounding image may cause flickering.

If it is difficult to see the displayed image or
flickering bothers you, change to optical
mirror mode.

●

The Digital Rearview Mirror may

become hot while it is in digital mirror

mode.

This is not a malfunction.

●

Depending on your physical condition or

age, it may take longer than usual to focus

on the displayed image. In this case,

change to optical mirror mode.

Do not let passengers stare at the dis-

played image when the vehicle is being

driven, as doing so may cause motion

sickness.

■

Linked mirror function when reversing

When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select

switch is selected, the outside rear view mir-

rors will automatically angle downwards

when the vehicle is reversing in order to

give a better view of the ground.
To disable this function, select neither “L”

nor “R”.
To set the mirror angle used when the vehi-

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.
