inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger-side convex mirror.

The fourth (uppermost) LED supplies illuminated entry
lighting, which turns on in both mirrors when you use
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open any
door. This LED shines outward to illuminate the front
and rear door handles. It also shines downward to
illuminate the area in front of the doors.

30 seconds or it will fade to off immediately once the
ignition switch is turned ON from the LOCK position.

the shift lever is moved out of the PARK position.

ror positioning which will aid the driver ’s view of theground rearward of the front doors. The outside mirrors

position when the vehicle is shifted out of the REVERSE
position. Each stored memory setting will have an asso-
ciated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse position.
