Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position memory)

The outside rear view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle

is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However, this function will

not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral position (between “L” and

“R”).

■

Auto anti-glare function

When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside

Rain-clearing mirrors (if equipped)

When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it rains, the

rain-clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets to be spread out

into a film making the rear view clearer.In the following cases, the rain-clearing

effect will be reduced temporarily, but will return after 1 or 2 days' exposure to

direct sunlight.

●

After wiping dirt off the mirrors

●

When the mirrors fog up

●

After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash

●

After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in underground parking

lots, etc. where there is no direct sunlight.
