1243-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
LC500_LC500h_OM_OM11405U_(U)To disable this functi
on, select neither “L”
nor “R”.
To set the mirror angle used when the vehi-
cle is reversing, adjust the mirror angle at a
desired position with the shift position in R.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and
the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-
orized 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 posi-
tion is changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-
just the angle in reversing.
■Using the switch
Press the switch to fold the mirrors.
Press it again to extend them to the original
position.
■Setting automatic mode
Automatic mode allows the folding or extending of the mirrors to be linked to
locking/unlocking of the doors.
Press the “AUTO” switch to set auto-
matic mode.
The indicator will come on.
Pressing the switch on
ce more will return
to manual mode.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting
12-volt battery terminals
The automatic folding/extending mirror
function will return to off as default. To turn
the function on, press the switch again to
select on.
■Using automatic mode 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 case, remove any ice and
snow from the door mirror, then either
operate the mirror using manual mode or
move the mirror by hand.
■Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending
operation can be changed.
(Customizable features: P.391)
