03 07.09 STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR SV16128 SL16013 "Type B "Type A 1 Day 2 Night Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your vehicle in the mirror. Pushing the switch changes the mode between "AUTO" and "DAY". The indicator comes on when the "AUTO" mode is selected. "DAY" mode: The mirror surface is normal. "AUTO" mode: If the mirror detects light from the headlights of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface darkens slightly to reduce the reflected light. When the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker. When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear view mirror always turns on in the "AUTO" mode. When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a little longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of headlights. When driving at night, pull the lever toward you to reduce the glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you. Before adjusting the mirror to the position with most clarity, push the day-night change lever forward (daylight driving position). Remember that by reducing glare you also lose some rear view clarity. CAUTION Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving. Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in personal death or injuries. 182
