mirror will pivot downward slightly
when you shif t the transmission into
reverse. In the lef t position, the lef t
mirror pivots. In the right position,

of reverse. To turn this f eature of f ,
leave the switch in the center
position.
Outside mirror positions can be
stored in the driving position
