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" or "R")
■

Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing

With the shift position in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired posi-
tion.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and the mirror will automati-
cally tilt to the memorized angle whenever the shift position is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with the shift position in other than R).
Therefore, if the normal position is changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reversing.
■
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.

Rain clearing mirrors

The coating on the mirror has the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect to make the
rear view clearer in raining. When water droplets collect on the mirror surface,
this effect causes the droplets to be spread out into a film.
●
The rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, when the dirt is adhered
to the mirror or after your vehicle is parked for a long time in underground or
indoor parking lots, etc., where there is no direct sunlight.
However, the effect will gradually recover after 1- or 2-day exposure to direct
sunlight.
●
If you want to restore the rain clearing effect immediately, conduct the resto-
ration work. (→P. 307)

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 defog-
gers. (→P. 261)
■
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. 141)
