■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 mir-
rors 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 
(between “L” or “R”)
With the shift lever in  R, adjust the mirror 
angle to 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 mem-
orized 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 th e 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, read-
just the angle in reversing.
When used in cold weather, the door mirror 
could be frozen and may not automatically 
point the mirror surface downward. In this 
event, remove any ice and snow from the 
mirror surface.
1 Folds the mirrors
2 Extends the mirrors
Putting the outside rear view mirror folding 
switch in the neutral position sets the mir-
rors to automatic mode. Automatic mode 
allows the folding or extending of the mir-
rors to be linked to locking/unlocking of 
the doors.
■When using 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 event, after removing any 
ice and snow from the door mirror, operate 
the mirror using manual mode or move it by 
hand.
■Customization
The automatic mirror  folding and extending 
operation can be changed. (Customizable 
features:  P.443)

rors
WARNING
■When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror mal-
function, be careful not to get your hand 
caught by the moving mirror.
