WARNING

• Do not adjust the steering wheel

while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent.

• Do not adjust the steering wheel any

closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver’s air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the air bag if
you are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use
the seat belts.

MANUAL ANTI-GLARE REARVIEW
MIRROR (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The night position

䊊

reduces glare from

the headlights of vehicles behind you at
night.

Use the day position

䊊

when driving in

daylight hours.

WARNING

Use the night position only when nec-
essary, because it reduces rearview
clarity.

AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE TYPE
(IF SO EQUIPPED)

The inside mirror is designed so that it au-
tomatically changes reflection based on
the intensity of the headlights of the vehicle
behind.

When the system is turned on, the indicator
light

䊊

will illuminate and excessive glare

from the headlights of the vehicle behind
you will be reduced.

cator light will turn off. Push the “I” switch

䊊

to turn the system on.

Do not allow any object to cover the sen-
sors

䊊

or apply glass cleaner on them.

Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the
sensor, resulting in improper operation.

WARNING

Use the night position only when neces-
sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.
