Operation of each component
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, th e outside
rear view mirrors will automati cally angle downwards when the v ehicle
is reversing in order to give  a better view of the ground.
To  disable  this  function,  select  neither  “L”  nor  “R”  of  the  mirror  select
switch.
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With  the  shift  lever  in  R,  adjust  the  mirror  angle  at  a  desired  posi-
tion.
The adjusted angle will be memori zed and the mirror will automati-
cally  tilt  to  the  memorized  angle  whenever  the  shift  lever  is  s hifted
to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with the shift lever in other than  R). There-
fore,  if  the  normal  position  is  changed  after  adjustment,  the  t ilt  position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reve rsing. 
■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■ When the mirrors  are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror d efoggers. Turn
on  the  rear  window  defogger  to  turn  on  the  outside  rear  view  mi rror  defog-
gers. ( P. 365)
■ Automatic adjustment of the mirr or angle (vehicles with driving position
memory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recall ed automati-
cally by the driving position memory. ( P. 163)
■ Auto anti-glare function (driver’s side only) (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the out-
side  rear  view  mirrors  will  activate  in  conjunction  with  the  an ti-glare  inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 172)
■ Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 548)
