Mirrors: Description and Operation

REAR VIEW MIRRORS

Power exterior rear view mirrors allow the driver or passenger mirror to be automatically or manually positioned. The position of the mirrors are controlled by the exterior mirror control switch. Rotating the switch to the LH or RH position determines which mirror will be controlled. The exterior mirrors are available with a heated option. The exterior mirrors are heated to remove frost, snow, ice and condensation. The mirrors are heated for a period of 10 minutes via the heated backlight switch.

The interior rear view mirror may be equipped with an electrochromic day/night option. This feature automatically reduces the glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the mirror. The auto-dimming feature is disabled when the vehicle is in reverse. Power is supplied to the electrochromic mirror when the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position.

The rear view mirrors consist of the following components:
- Exterior rear view mirror
- Exterior rear view mirror glass
- Manual or electrochromic automatic day/night interior mirror
- Exterior mirror control switch
