3-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors  
Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving  
position memory)  
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).  
Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing  
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired posi-  
tion. The adjusted angle will be memorized and the mirror will auto-  
matically tilt to the memorized angle whenever the shift lever 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 lever in other than R). There-  
fore, if the normal position is changed after adjustment, the tilt position  
will also change.  
If the normal position is changed, readjust the tilt down angle.  
Mirror angle can be adjusted when  
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or 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 defog-  
gers. (P. 278)  
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving position  
memory)  
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automati-  
cally by the driving position memory. (P. 133)  
Auto anti-glare function (vehicles with outer foot lights)  
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. 143)
