1823-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing (if equipped)
When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, the outside rear
view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing
in order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this function, select nei-
ther “L” nor “R”.
If the mirror angle adjustment switch is operated while the linked mirror func-
tion is in operation, the angle and position of the mirrors can be remembered,
and the mirrors will operate at the angle adjusted to the last time the linked mir-
ror function was operated.
However, because the mirrors move based on the angle they are in when the
linked mirror function is not operating, the mirror angle when the linked mirror
function is operating will also be changed if the mirrors are adjusted while the
function is not operating.
When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers. Turn on
the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers. (P.
404)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (if equipped)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. (P. 168)
Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view
mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 179)
Using automatic mode in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this case, remove any
ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual
mode or move the mirror by hand.
Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be changed.
