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.

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

tion is changed after adjustment, the tilt

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

just the angle in reversing.
