The outside mirror surfaces will return to
their original position when one of the fol-
lowing conditions has occurred:
• The shif t lever is moved to any positionother than R (Reverse).
• The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
• The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The reverse tilt position can be changed.
While in R (Reverse), adjust the glass posi-
tion to the desired location. The next time
the vehicle is shif ted into R (Reverse), the
glass position will go to the newly set posi-
tion. Additionally, the changed reverse tilt
position can be saved to a memory seat
position. Af ter the reverse tilt glass position
has been changed, vehicle is shif ted back
into park and glass has returned to the
original position, push the Set switch and
press the desired memory switch (1 or 2) to
assign the new reverse tilt position

• Entry/exit function
Key-link, when enabled, automatically re-
tains the driver’s last seat, automatic steer-
ing wheel, and outside mirror positions for
that specific key when the ignition is posi-
tioned from ON to OFF.
Each memory switch button (1 or 2) on the
driver’s door can also store one additional
position which is independent of the key-
linked position.
