Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with
an interior rear view mirror that has
an auto-dimming function (optional
on the driver's side exterior mirror).
The electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights
(glare) reach the interior mirror. When the interior mirror detects bright
light from behind the vehicle, the interior rear view mirror and the
driver's side exterior mirror (if equipped) will automatically adjust
(darken) to minimize glare.
The mirrors will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Note: If equipped with a Reverse Camera System, a video image will
display in the mirror when the vehicle is put in (R) reverse. As you shift
into any other gear from (R) Reverse, the image will remain for a few
seconds and then turn off. Refer to Reverse Camera System in the
Driving chapter.
