Linked Mirror Function When Reversing - Lexus LS460 Owner's Manual

Linked mirror function when reversing


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, move the mirror select switch to
the neutral position (between "L" and "R").

If the mirror angle adjustment switch is operated while the linked
mirror function is in operation, the angle and position of the mir-
rors can be remembered, and the mirrors will operate at the angle
adjusted to the last time the linked mirror function was operated.
However, because the mirrors move based on the angle they are
in when the linked mirror function is not operating, the mirror
angle when the linked mirror function is operating will also be
changed if the mirrors are adjusted while the function is not oper-
ating.

Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.

When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers.
Turn on the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror
defoggers. (P. 462)

Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automati-
cally by the driving position memory. (P. 168)

Auto anti-glare function
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 anti-glare inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 179)

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 event,
remove any ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror
using manual mode or move the mirror by hand.
