WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while
the vehicle is moving:
Adjusting the steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous.
Moving it can very easily cause the
driver to abruptly turn to the left or
right. This can lead to loss of control
or an accident.
qSteering Wheel Adjustment

steering wheel:
1. Stop the vehicle, pull up the lock
release lever under the steering
column.
2. Tilt the steering wheel and/or adjust the
steering column length to the desired
positions, push the lever down to lock
the column.

WARNING
Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes:
Changing lanes without taking into
account the actual distance of the
vehicle in the convex mirror is
dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
NOTE
(Driver's Side Wide Angle Mirror
The wide angle mirror has two
l
curvatures on its surface separated by
a region line into outer and inner
regions. The inner region is a
standard convex mirror whereas the
outer region allows for a wider range
of visibility within the same sweep.
This combination allows for better
assurance when making lane
changes.
