Operation of each component
RX450h_U_OM0E013U 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 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 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 shif t lever in other than R). Therefore, if the normal posi-
tion is changed after adjustment, th e tilt position will also change.
When the normal position is chang ed, readjust the angle in reversing.■
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode. ■
When disconnecting and reconnec ting 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. ■

rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers. (  P. 4 0 9 )■
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically by the
driving position memory. (  P. 1 74 )■
Auto anti-glare function
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside rear
view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view mirror to
reduce reflected light. (  P. 1 8 3 )■
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 th e mirror using manual mode or move the mir-
ror by hand. ■
