When the seat position is saved in the memory, the posi tion of the

If the position of the passenger mirror is changed when the vehicle
is in reverse gear and the switch is in the @ pos ition, this new tilted
position wil l be automatically saved to the remote key when the
veh ic le is taken out of reverse gear. To save, the rotary kn ob for

front passenger's door (kn ob turned to @ => fig . 82) will tilt slightly
downward. This make is easier for you to see the curb when you are
backing into a parking space.
The mirror returns to its initial pos ition as soon as reverse gear is
disengaged and vehicle speed is above about 9 mph (15 km/h). The
mirror also returns to its ini tial pos ition if the swi tch is moved to the
driver's outside mirror
