Power Mirror Switch: Description and Operation



Switch

The door mirror switch unit is located on the driver's door inside the door mirror. It comprises a 4-way switch (in/out, up/down), a selector switch for RH/LH mirror, and a tilt-down switch for tilting the passenger door mirror when reversing.

The switch is grounded to grounding point G33.

When setting the position memory for one of the door mirrors, the memory store button is used in combination with one of the memory buttons 1-3 on the driver's seat.
