When either “L” or “R” of the mir-
ror select switch is selected, 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”.
■Adjusting the mirror angle
when the vehicle is revers-
ing
With the shift lever in R, adjust
the mirror angle at a desired
position.
The adjusted angle will be mem-
orized and the mirror will auto-
matically tilt to the memorized
angle whenever the shift lever is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized do wnward tilt posi-
tion of the mirror is linked to the
normal position (angle adjusted

is changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is
changed, readjust the angle in
reversing.

outer mirror lights at night.
These lights can be used as
