Reverse Mirror Control

2008 Acura RLSECTION Reverse Mirror Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TL and 2007 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the vehicle is shifted to Reverse (shift lever in R position) with the power mirror selector switch in Left (or Right) position, the driver's (or passenger's) side mirror tilts down automatically to help the driver's view. The mirror will return to the previous position when the shift lever is shifted out of R position. The reverse mirror control is cancelled if the power mirror selector switch is in the center position.
