Mirrors

Electrochromic Day/Night Inside
Rearview Mirror

This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.

At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may
take a few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear
daytime state when the glare is reduced. The mirror will
also return to its clear daytime state when the vehicle is
put into REVERSE (R).

Press the AUTO button at the base of the mirror to turn
on the automatic feature. The button has an indicator
light to show it is on. Press the OFF button to turn the
automatic feature off.

Time Delay

The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.

Cleaning the Photocells

Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
