Electrochromic Mirror (DD8)

The Electrochromic Mirror uses two photocell sensors to determine light conditions in the front and back of the vehicle. At night, as the glare of headlights from behind increases, the mirror gradually becomes darker to absorb the glare. In the daytime, the mirror is in a clear state. With the Ignition Switch in "RUN," battery voltage is applied to terminal "D". With the Gear Selector Lever in "REVERSE," battery voltage is applied to terminal "A" of the mirror. The mirror then gradually changes to a clear state.
