Overview

The power mirrors allow the LH and RH exterior mirror glass to be positioned electronically. The position of the power mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch. The LH or RH selection switch determines which exterior mirror glass is controlled.

The interior rear view mirror has pivot points which allow the adjustment of the mirror up, down, left and right. The interior mirror may be equipped with either a manual dimming or auto-dimming feature to control the reflectance of the interior rear view mirror glass. The manual dimming feature is completely controlled by the driver. The auto-dimming mirror electronically changes the mirror glass to a lower reflectance state when bright lights (glare) are detected from behind the vehicle during nighttime conditions.
