Tilt function for the passenger's mirror*

surface tilts downward slightly if the setting
is for the passenger's mirror (knob in position

The m irror returns to its initial position as
soon as reverse gear is disengaged and vehicle
speed is above about 9 mph
(15 km/ h). The

If the posit ion of the mirror surface is
changed on a tilted mir ror, this new position
