Interior Rear View Mirror

The interior rear view mirror consists of a mirror glass and housing. The interior rear view mirror mounts to an interior rear view mirror bracket at the upper center of the windshield glass. The interior rear view mirror can be adjusted left, right, up and down using the 2 pivot points on the support arm. The interior rear view mirror can be adjusted from a day position to a night position to reduce unwanted glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the mirror. Adjusting the interior rear view mirror day/night tab, located at the bottom of the interior rear view mirror, rearward will adjust the interior mirror to the night position. Adjusting the interior rear view mirror day/night tab forward will adjust the interior mirror to the day position.

Interior Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror

The interior rear view mirror may be equipped with an auto-dimming feature. The interior auto-dimming rear view mirrors feature automatically reduces the glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the interior rear view mirror. The auto-dimming feature is activated when the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position. The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror adjusts the reflectance level of the interior rear view mirror glass to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror. To provide increased visibility when backing up, the interior rear view mirror will automatically return to a high reflectance mode whenever the vehicle is in REVERSE.

On vehicles equipped with a rear-mounted object detection camera, the interior rear view mirror may be equipped with a video display. When the transmission is in the REVERSE position, a video image will be displayed on the LH side of the interior rear view mirror glass. For information on the rear-mounted object detection system, refer to Collision Avoidance and Parking Assist Systems.
