DESCRIPTION
Outside power rear view mirrors consist of door-mounted mirrors with internal motor drive and backing plate. On Caravan, Town & Country, and Voyager, mirrors are controlled by a rocker switch for left or right mirror selection and a platform button for up, down, right and left movement. On Dakota, Durango, Ram Pickup, Ram Van and Ram Wagon, mirrors are controlled by a single, multifunction, joystick-type switch assembly. On all models, mirror motors are integral with mirror assemblies and cannot be serviced separately. On Dakota and Durango, fold-away rear view mirrors are optional.
Dakota, Durango and Ram Pickup are equipped with an automatic dimming day/night inside mirror. The mirror uses 2 photocell sensors to monitor ambient and rear facing light levels. The mirror automatically adjusts its reflectance to reduce headlight glare from vehicles approaching from the rear. The mirror is controlled by an off/on switch located on the mirror bottom.
Caravan, Ram Pickup, Town & Country and Voyager have optional heated outside mirrors. On Caravan, Town & Country and Voyager, heated mirror is activated whenever the rear defogger is on. On Ram Pickup, heated mirror is activated by switch in dash. A timer turns off mirror heater after about 10 minutes.
