Linked mirror function when reversing (if equipped)
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the outside rear

To disable this function, move the mirror select switch to the neutral
position (between L and R).

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.

will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reversing.
