Linked mirror function when reversing

(vehicles with driving position memory)

When the mirror select switch is in the “L”

or “R” position, the outside rear view mir-

rors will automatically angle downwards

when the vehicle is reversing in order to

give a better view of the ground.

To disable this function, move the mirror

select switch to the neutral position

(between “L” or “R”)
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror

angle to a desired position to set the mirror

angle used when the vehicle is reversing.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and

the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-

orized angle whenever the shift lever is

shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of

the mirror is linked to the normal position

(angle adjusted with the shift lever in other

than R). Therefore, if the normal position is

changed after adjustment, the tilt position

will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-

just the angle in reversing.
When used in cold weather, the door mirror

could be frozen and may not automatically

point the mirror surface downward. In this

event, remove any ice and snow from the

mirror surface.

Extends the mirrors

Putting the outside rear view mirror folding
switch in the neutral position sets the mir-
rors to automatic mode. Automatic mode
allows the folding or extending of the mir-
rors to be linked to locking/unlocking of
the doors.

■

When using in cold weather

When automatic mode is used in cold

weather, the door mirror could freeze up

and automatic stowing and return may not

be possible. In this event, after removing any

ice and snow from the door mirror, operate

the mirror using manual mode or move it by

hand.
