REAR VIEW MIRRORS

The rear view mirrors system consists of the following:
- Exterior mirror glass

- Exterior mirror cover
- Exterior mirror assembly
- Manual interior rear view mirror (if equipped)
- Auto-dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped)

Exterior Rear View Mirror
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. Adjusting the exterior mirror control switch to the LH or RH position determines which mirror will be controlled. The exterior rear view mirrors are available with a heated option.

Heated Exterior Rear View Mirror
The heated exterior rear view mirrors are heated to remove frost, snow, ice and condensation. The heated exterior rear view mirrors are heated for a period of 10 minutes when the rear window defrost switch is activated.

Auto-Dimming Interior Rear View Mirror
The automatic-dimming feature has 2 photoelectric sensors that detect forward and rear light conditions and adjusts the reflectance level of the mirror to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior rear view mirror.
