Recommended mirror angle
when towing a trailer (vehicles
with extending mirrors)
1
Power adjust the upper part of
the mirror until an appropriate
view is obtained. It is recom-
mended that the outer 2/3 of the
upper mirror be filled with images
other than the vehicle and trailer.
2
Manually adjust the lower part of
the mirror until an appropriate
view of the towed object is
obtained. It is recommended that
the outer 2/3 of the lower mirror
be filled with images other than
the trailer.
When either “L” or “R” of the mir-
ror 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 revers-
ing
With the shift lever in R, adjust
the mirror angle at a desired
position.
The adjusted angle will be mem-
orized and the mirror will auto-
matically tilt to the memorized
angle whenever the shift lever is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt posi-
tion 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.
Improves reverse operation for
trailer parking by turning on the
outer mirror lights at night.
These lights can be used as
work lights.
When the shift lever is in P or R,
press the switch.
