RAIN CLEARING MIRRORS
The rear view mirrors have been coated to produce a "rain
clearing" effect. This coating causes the raindrops to
spread, clearing the driver's rear view when it rains.
It is sufficient to wash the mirrors with water for day to day care.
The rain clearing effect is reduced in drizzle and light rain.
In the following cases, the rain clearing effect will be reduced
temporarily, but will gradually recover.
D After wiping dirt off the mirrors
D When the mirrors fog up
D After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
D After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in
underground parking lots, etc. where there is no direct
sunlight.
If you would like to restore the rain clearing effect to its normal
level immediately in the above cases, wash the mirrors with
neutral detergent, then rinse thoroughly.

NOTICE
To maintain the rain clearing ability, and prevent the
mirrors from being scratched, observe the following
precautions.
D Do not use any glass cleaners that contain
compounds.
D If ice should jam the mirror, do not scrape the mirror.
Use a spray deicer to free the mirror.
D Wash off any wax stuck to the mirrors with neutral
detergent and rinse thoroughly as any wax on the
surface of the mirrors can cause the rain clearing
effect to be lost.
D Do not use any water repellents as they can destroy
the rain clearing effect. If any repellent gets stuck on
the surface of the mirrors, wash it off with neutral
detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
