Auto reverse function (if equipped)

With the outside rear view mirror switch (1) positioned to the left or right, the left and right outside rear view mirrors automatically move to the default provision position to improve driver visibility when the vehicle is in reverse.

The auto reverse function provides the ability to store and recall the outside rear view mirror position set by the user with integrated memory system button while the vehicle is in R (Reverse) position.

Storing memory positions

  1. Park the vehicle in a safe place while vehicle is in the POWER ON or DRIVE READY position.

  2. Move the switch to the L or R position depending on the mirror you want to adjust.

  3. Shift to R (Reverse) while pressing the parking brake.

    * When you set the outside rear view mirror initially, the outside rear view mirror will move downwards to its default position.

  4. Press the adjustment control to adjust the selected mirror.

  5. Press the desired memory button (1 or2).

    The system will beep once, and then the driver's seat position, outside rear view mirror position, steering wheel position, and head-up display height will automatically adjust to the stored positions.

  6. Set the opposite outside rear view mirror the same way as described above (1~5).

Recalling memory positions

  • The outside rear view mirror switch (1) position determines the mirror movement:

    • L/R: Outside rear view mirrors will move.

    • Center: Outside rear view mirrors will not move.

  • Press the desired memory button (1 or 2).

    The driver's seat position, outside rear view mirror position, steering wheel position, and head-up display height will automatically adjust to the stored positions.

  • Shift to R (Reverse) while pressing the parking brake.

  • The outside rear view mirror adjusts downward automatically to the stored positions saved on memory button (1 or 2).

CAUTION
  • Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict the movement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a de-icer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with warm water.

  • When cleaning the mirror, do not directly spray the detergent to the mirror, but put the detergent on a soft towel or cloth and clean the mirror with it. If you spray the detergent directly to the mirror, the detergent may permeate into the mirror frame and cause a malfunction.

  • Vibration and noise may be generated because the gear is not precisely engaged, so if you operate again by using the switch, the gear will be precisely engaged and the vibration and noise will disappear.

  • If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved spray de-icer (not cooling system antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

  • The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjusting angles, but the motor continues to operate while the switch is pressed. Do not press the switch longer than necessary, the motor may be damaged.

  • Do not attempt to adjust the outside rear view mirror by hand. Doing so may damage the parts.

  • The electric type outside rear view mirror operates even though the vehicle is in the OFF position. However, to prevent unnecessary battery discharge, do not adjust the mirrors longer than necessary while the vehicle is not running.

  • In case it is an electric type outside rear view mirror, don't fold it by hand. It could cause motor failure.

  • We recommend following the procedures in an orderly manner to change or initialize the auto reversing user settings. If you move to the next step before completing the previous one, the changed angle may not be changed or initialization may not work properly.

WARNING
  • The outside rear view mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.

  • Use your interior rear view mirror or direct observation to determine the actual distance of following vehicles when changing lanes.

  • Do not adjust or fold the outside rear view mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, or property damage.
