Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass (Option)
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced.
Setting the Mirror
OFF:
This setting turns off the day/night function and
compass. The mirror will stay in the day mode.
M:
This turns on the day/night portion of the mirror to
automatically reduce glare.
C/M: This setting turns on the compass in addition to
the day/night function. The letter or letters displayed in
the top right corner of the mirror indicate the direction
in which you are traveling.
Time Delay
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare when
set in the M (Mirror) or C/M (Compass/Mirror) positions.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. One photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell is built into the mirror surface to sense
headlamps behind you.
This feature prevents rapid changing of the mirror from
the night mode to the day mode as you drive under
lights and through traffic.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of
the
automatic mirror. When the shift lever is placed in
REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode. This
gives you a bright image in the mirror as you back up.
