: If equipped

The Digital Rear-view Mir-

ror is a system that uses the

camera on the rear of the

vehicle and displays its

image on the display of the

Digital Rear-view Mirror.

cles with auto anti-glare inside

The Digital Rear-view Mir-

ror can be changed

between optical mirror

mode and digital mirror

mode by operating the

properly, do not touch or cover

them.

ror allows the driver to see

the rear view despite

obstructions, such as the

head restraints or luggage,

ensuring rear visibility.
