DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Power mirrors are controlled by a dual control switch on left side of instrument panel. The position of the select switch determines whether the left or right mirror will be adjusted. The directional switch directs current to the mirror motors. Mirror and motor are serviced as an assembly. Mirror defogger is an integral part of mirror. See DEFOGGER - REAR WINDOW & SIDE MIRROR article.
On some LS400 vehicles, the mirror position can be stored in memory. The position can be recalled by pressing a button on the driver's door.
The inside rearview mirror has a liquid crystal glass. When switch at bottom of mirror frame is activated, mirror surface changes from bright to dark to reduce glare. Mirror will only change when key is in ignition.
