Description & Operation

Power mirrors are controlled by a dual control switch on left side of instrument panel or on driver's door armrest (SC300 and SC400). Position of select switch determines whether left or right mirror will be adjusted. Directional switch directs current to mirror motors. Mirror and motor are serviced as an assembly. Mirror defogger is an integral part of mirror. See REAR WINDOW & SIDE MIRROR DEFOGGERS article.

On GS300, GS400, LS400, LX470, SC300 and SC400, mirror position can be stored in memory. Position can be recalled by pressing a button on driver's door. On GS300, GS400 and LS400, mirror memory is stored in the driver door ECU and body control ECU. On LX470, mirror memory is stored in the instrument ECU. On SC300 and SC400, mirror memory is stored in the tilt and telescopic ECU.

On GS300, GS400, LS400, LX470, RX300, SC300 and SC400, inside rear view mirror and side mirrors have electrochromic glass. When switch at bottom of interior rear view mirror frame is activated, mirror surface changes from bright to dark to reduce glare. Mirror will only change when key is in ignition.
