the driver's seat and side door mirrors will automatically move to the position that they were in when the doors were
most recently locked with the same remote control.
NOTE

To fold down one or both sections:
1. Pull the catch on the upper outboard edge of the backrest upward and forward to release the backrest lock. A red
