Reverse tilt-down feature (if so equipped) The reverse tilt-down feature will turn the selected outside mirror surface downward to provide better rear visibility close to the vehicle. When the ignition switch is in the ON position, turn the outside mirror control switch to the left or right position. Only one mirror can be selected at a time. Move the shift selector lever to R (Reverse). The selected mirror will turn downward. LPD0196 NOTE: If the outside mirror control switch is in the neutral position, neither mirror will turn downward when the shift selector lever is moved to R (Reverse). For more information regarding this feature and how to save the R (Reverse) mirror tilt-down adjustment in the automatic drive positioner memory, refer to "Automatic drive positioner" later in this section. Heated mirrors (if so equipped) The electric control type outside mirrors (if so equipped) can be heated to defrost, defog, or de-ice for improved visibility. Press the rear window defogger switch to activate the heating function. Press the switch again to deactivate, or the heating function will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes. Power folding outside mirrors (if so equipped) CAUTION Do not manually fold the power folding mirrors. Manually folding the mirrors can damage the mirrors. Press the switch to open or close the mirrors. The selected mirror surface will return to its original position when any of the following have occurred: ● The shift selector lever is moved to any position other than R (Reverse). ● The outside mirror control switch is set to the N (Neutral) position. ● The ignition switch is turned OFF.
