Knowing your vehicle
Electric type (if equipped)
The electric day/night rearview mirror
automatically controls the glare from the
headlights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions. The
sensor mounted in the mirror senses the
light level around the vehicle, and
through a chemical reaction, automati-
cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.
To operate the electric rearview mirror
Press the “I” button (
➀

matic- dimming function on. The mirror
indicator light will illuminate.
Press the “O” button (
➁
) to turn the auto-
matic- dimming function off. The mirror
indicator light will turn off.

CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing.
WARNING
When backing up, we recommend
the driver use the rear window
rather than the rearview mirror to
see objects in the road.
