STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS Automatic tilt-away steering column* OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS When the ignition key is removed, the steering column moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for easy exit and entry. When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, the steering column returns to the previously set position. Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your vehicle in the mirror. Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side because it is a convex mirror. Any object seen in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal flat mirror. When you push the outside rear view mirror defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface. (See "Outside rear view mirror defogger switch" on page 47.) The rear view mirrors are rain clearing mirrors that clear the driver's rear view when it rains. (For details, see "Rain clearing mirrors" on page 638.) NOTE: * This feature can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. 231
