MIRROR DOES NOT RETURN TO SET POSITION

A customer may report a concern of the side mirrors intermittently not returning automatically to the set position after deselecting reverse gear.

A memory error within the driver's seat control module causes the loss of the last known position of the mirror glass. This is a software error that cannot be rectified using WDS.

Action:
Should a customer express concern regarding the above, refer to the Repair Procedure detailed in this bulletin to replace the control module with a new module containing the software revision required.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

CONFIRM FEATURE IS ON VEHICLE AND REPLACE CONTROL MODULE

NOTE:
Automatic mirror dipping is a feature unique to vehicles with driver's seat memory.

This is explained in the LR3 Owner's Handbook within the "Door Mirror" section.

For drivers of vehicles without driver's memory seats, confusion may arise as the Settings display appears to offer "Reverse Mirror Dip" as an available option.

The option can seemingly be selected, despite the fact that the vehicle does not having driver's memory seats.

An amendment to emphasize this feature function will be made to the "Settings Option" section of the LR3 Owner's Handbook at the next available opportunity.

1. Confirm that the vehicle has driver's seat memory.

2. Raise the driver's seat to highest position to gain access.

3. Release the four retaining clips and remove the seat front base cover.

4. Remove both Torx screws.

5. Disconnect the five electrical connectors and remove the driver seat module.





6. Install the new driver seat module. (Figure 1)

7. Connect the five electrical connectors.

8. Install both Torx screws.

9. Reinstall the seat front base cover, ensuring all four retaining clips are secure.

10. Verify that the automatic mirror dip function and other seat functions operate correctly.
