Tilt Steering Wheel; Outside Rear View Mirrors - Lexus RX300 2001 Owner's Manual

TILT STEERING WHEEL

16R300
To change the steering wheel angle, hold the steering
wheel, pull up the lock release lever, tilt the steering wheel
to the desired angle and release the lever.
When the steering wheel is in a low position, it will spring up as
you release the lock release lever.
CAUTION
D Do not adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is
moving. It may cause the driver to mishandle the
vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in death
or serious injuries.
D After adjusting the steering wheel, try moving it up
and down to make sure it is locked in position.

OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS

Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side. It is a
convex mirror with a curved surface. Any object seen in a
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in
a normal flat mirror.
When you push the rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.
Some models: When the inside rear view mirror darkens in
"AUTO" mode, the outside rear view mirrors also darken to
reduce the reflection of the headlights of the following vehicle.
For details, see "Inside rear view mirror" on page 89.
