Park Tilt Mirrors
If the vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, there is an option to have the mirrors tilt down, when in R (Reverse), to more easily see the ground near the vehicle.
When the vehicle is shifted to R (Reverse), both the driver and passenger mirrors will tilt downward.
They will return to their previous position when the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), the ignition is turned to OFF, or the vehicle is left in R (Reverse) for an extended period of time.
This feature can be turned on or off.
