Inside Rear View Mirror






INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The inside rear view mirror:
^ Is windshield mounted.
^ Is a manual hand-set day/night or an optional electrochromic mirror.

The electrochromic inside rear view mirror has two features:
^ Automatic dimming.
^ Automatic lock-in normal view state, when the vehicle is placed in reverse (R).

The automatic dimming feature darkens the inside rear view mirror whenever the front ambient light sensor detects low outside light and glare reaches the light sensor (photo cell) located inside the mirror. The electrochromic inside rear view mirror starts to return to the normal view once the glare goes away.
