A system ( 60 ) for automatically changing the position of the side mirrors ( 14, 16 ) of a vehicle ( 10 ) between a blind zone side mirror setting position and a blind zone/glare elimination (BGE) side mirror setting position in response to actuation of a switch ( 68 ). From the angle of the driver side mirror ( 14 ) an equation can be used to determine the distance between the driver side mirror ( 14 ) and the vehicle operator's eyes. Based on the angle of the driver side mirror ( 14 ), the system ( 60 ) will know whether the driver set the driver side mirror ( 14 ) for the blind zone setting method or the BGE setting method. If the vehicle operator actuates the switch ( 68 ), then the system ( 60 ) will use the distance from the vehicle operator's eyes to the driver side mirror ( 14 ) to set the angle for the other of the blind zone setting method or the BGE setting method based on predetermined equations.
