Lexus NX: Outside rear view mirrors

For safe driving, adjust the mirror angles to secure visibility before driving.

WARNING

■When driving the vehicle Observe the following precautions while driving.

Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

• Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
• Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
• Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly adjusted before driving.

■When the mirror defoggers are operating Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.

Adjustment procedure

1. To select a mirror to adjust, press the switch.

1. Left
2. Right

2. To adjust the mirror, press the switch.

1. Up
2. Right
3. Down
4. Left

■Mirror angle can be adjusted when The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.

■When using in cold weather Vehicles with driving position memory: When used in cold weather during reverse driving, the door mirror could be frozen and may not automatically point the mirror surface downward. In this event, remove any ice and snow from the mirror surface.

■Defogging the mirrors 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.

■Auto anti-glare function 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.

■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving position memory) A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically by the driving position memory.

■Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position memory) When the mirror select switch is in the "L" or "R" position, 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, move the mirror select switch to the neutral position (between "L" or "R") With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle to a desired position to set the mirror angle used when the vehicle is reversing.

The adjusted angle will be memorized and the mirror will automatically tilt to the memorized angle whenever the shift lever is shifted to R from next time.

The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the normal position (angle adjusted with the shift lever in other than R). Therefore, if the normal position is changed after adjustment, the tilt position will also change.

When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reversing.

When used in cold weather, the door mirror could be frozen and may not automatically point the mirror surface downward. In this event, remove any ice and snow from the mirror surface.

Folding and extending the mirrors

1. Folds the mirrors
2. Extends the mirrors

Putting the outside rear view mirror folding switch in the neutral position sets the mirrors to automatic mode. Automatic mode allows the folding or extending of the mirrors to be linked to locking/unlocking of the doors.

■When using 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 event, after removing any ice and snow from the door mirror, operate the mirror using manual mode or move it by hand.

■Customization The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be changed.

WARNING

■When a mirror is moving To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your hand caught by the moving mirror.
