Reverse Gear Mirror Position
Reverse Gear Mirror Position
To give the driver a clear view of the curbs when reversing, the exterior door mirror's can be dipped when reverse gear is selected. The level of mirror dipping is set to a predetermined amount when the vehicle leaves the factory but has the ability to be customer programmed.
The following procedure will store a reverse gear mirror position:
^ Ensure the ignition key is in position I or II
^ Perform a memory recall procedure
^ Ensure reverse gear is engaged
^ Manually adjust the mirrors to the desired position
^ Press and release the 'memory store' switch
^ Press and release the desired numbered memory switch
^ Reverse gear mirror dip setting will be stored for that particular memory setting.
A single chime will be emitted from the instrument cluster to indicate that the store operation has been successful and 'Mirror Dip Stored' message will be displayed in the message center.
Once this sequence has been completed, the stored mirror position will be the position that the mirrors move to when reverse gear is next selected.
Storing a memory position with reverse gear selected only affects reverse gear mirror positions, the remainder of the memory position's remain unchanged.
To protect against an accidental setting, the mirror position will only be stored if a mirror adjustment has been made since reverse gear was selected. If there is no reverse gear mirror position stored, then a default setting, stored in the memory control module, is adopted.
There are three memory settings per key. For each of these settings there is a reverse gear mirror position store. This equates to a possible nine reverse gear mirror position settings. Personalization memory setting relates to the 3 most recent ignition keys.
The reverse gear mirror position feature can be activated or deactivated via the customer personalization feature of the high line instrument cluster. This provides the driver with the option to enable or disable reverse gear mirror position as required.
When the reverse gear mirror position feature is toggled 'OFF', all 3-memory settings associated with that personalization memory will return to the default reverse gear mirror settings.
NOTE: Reverse gear status is only available with the ignition in position II.
When reverse gear is de-selected, the mirror position immediately prior to reverse selection will be resumed, unless a memory recall has been requested whilst reverse has been selected, in which case the mirrors will move to the requested memory position when reverse is de-selected.
On vehicles fitted with the ZF automatic transmission there is a delay of 0.5 second following the selection of reverse gear, prior to the reverse mirror position being recalled. This is to prevent any movement of the mirrors as the gear selector is moved through the reverse position on the way to, and from, the park position.
