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 revers-
ing in order to give a better view of the
ground.
To disable this function, move the mir-

the vehicle is reversing

With the shift lever in R, adjust the mir-
ror 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 position is
changed after adjustment, the tilt position
will also change.

When the normal position is changed,
readjust the angle in reversing.
