1283-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
AVALON (U)_(OM41440U)
■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
■ Linked mirror function when reversi ng (vehicles with driving position
memory)
● When the mirror select switch is either in the “L” or “R” position, the outside
rear view mirrors will automatically angle down when the vehicle is in
reverse to give a better view of the ground. To disable this function, set the
mirror select switch between the “L” and “R” positions.
● If the mirror angle is adjusted while the vehicle is in reverse, the position of
the mirror will be remembered based on the mirror position when the vehicle
is not in reverse.
However, since the mirror movement is based on the angle they are set
when the linked mirror function is not operating, the mirror angle when the
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 defog-
gers. ( P. 248)
■ Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving position
memory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automa\
ti-
cally by the driving position memory. (P. 118)
■ Auto anti-glare function (vehicles with outer foot lights)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirr or is set to automatic mode, the out-
side rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 125)
