RC F_U

Push the mirror back in the direction of
the vehicle’s rear.

When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, 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, select neither “L” nor “R”.

■

Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired position.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and the mirror will automatically tilt to
the memorized 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 posi-

tion is changed after adjustment, the tilt position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reversing.
