A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically by
the driving position memory.

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
mirrors 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 (be-
tween “L” and “R”)
With the shift position in R, adjust the mirror angle at 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
memorized angle whenever the shift position 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 position 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, readjust the angle in reversing.

Stop & Start system

Stop & Start sysmem effort and caution

The Stop & Start system stops and starts the engine according to brake pedal
or shift lever operation when the vehicle is stopped, such as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to improve fuel economy and reduce noise pollution caused by
the engine idling.

Points for use

If the engine switch is pressed when the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system, the engine will not be able to be restarted by the automatic engine
start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal engine starting
procedure.

When the engine is being restarted by the Stop & Start system, the power
outlets may be temporarily unusable, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system.
Contact your Lexus dealer.

When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of time, turn the engine switch off
to stop the engine completely.

When the engine is restarted by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel may
temporarily feel heavy.

Hill-start assist control

When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the vehicle is on an
incline, when the brake pedal is released, brake force is temporarily maintained to
prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards before the engine is restarted and drive
force is generated. When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is
automatically canceled.

This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep inclines.

Sound may be generated from the brake system, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
