Rear View Mirrors

The exterior mirrors have the following features

1. exterior mirror motor
2. fold-away type
3. controlled by the exterior mirror control switch
4. heated exterior mirror glass

There are two types of interior rear view mirrors available

1. manual day/night interior rear view mirror
2. auto-dimming interior rear view mirror

The available automatic dimming feature

1. functions mainly at night with limited function at dawn or dusk.
2. will change from normal to non-glare mode when headlight glare reaches the auto-dimming interior rear view mirror. The auto-dimming interior mirror measures the brightness of the light from the rear of the vehicle. It automatically makes a correction in the reflective properties of the mirror and reduces the glare.
3. automatically adjusts the sensitivity of the auto-dimming interior mirror. From the non-glare mode, the auto-dimming interior mirror returns to normal after a short delay. The delay begins when the glare goes away and eliminates readjustment of the auto-dimming interior mirror as traffic moves behind or around the vehicle.
4. function may be disabled by pressing the auto-dimming interior mirror-mounted MIRROR switch. A small indicator lamp is located on the RH side of the switch.
5. will automatically lock the auto-dimming interior mirror into the normal state whenever the transmission is placed in the REVERSE mode to provide a clear view when backing up.
