Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature
*
These mirrors automatically dim
through an infinitely-variable range.
They automatically revert to their
undimmed mode whenever the gear-
shift lever or the selector lever is placed
in Reverse.
There are two photocells located in the
interior rearview mirror for this purpose.
One photocell is in the mirror glass,
refer to arrow, while the other is offset
somewhat on the back of the mirror.

For trouble-free operation, keep the
photocells clean and do not cover the
area between the interior rearview
mirror and the windshield. Do not
attach any kind of stickers on the wind-
shield in front of the mirror, either.
