CONDITION
(A) Some Customers/Technicians may experience a condition where the
mirrors adjust to an unexpected position when the transmission is
shifted into reverse.
(B) Some Customers may experience a condition where the mirrors do
not change to the exact previous position in which the customer had
set the memory to when the transmission is shifted into reverse.
RECOMMENDATIONS
-For Condition A:
The included vehicles have a "reverse shift-linked function", where the mirrors are directed to the
previously set memory location to improve visibility when driving in reverse after all of the system
required conditions are met. The previously set reverse shift-linked function mirror position is stored
inside the outer Mirror Control ECU and is NOT linked to the corresponding driving positions or linked
to the driving positions programmed to each key. Both outside mirrors are adjustable with the
transmission in reverse, but that specific location will continue to stay the same until it is manually
changed again.
NOTICE: No part replacement is necessary as the mirrors are adjustable and are not linked to driving
positions programmed to the vehicle or the driving position programmed to the key.
-For Condition B:
The vehicle may have multiple drivers, the reverse memory position each has set will NOT change
based on their programmed keys or driving positions. The mirrors will only change to the position that
they were last modified to. In short, multiple drivers must share the same mirror position when shifting
into reverse or manually adjust them to their preference each time it has been modified by a different
driver.
