don't install a wide mirror. It could

Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
The electric rearview mirror automati‐
cally controls the glare from the head‐
lights of the vehicles behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi‐
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir‐
ror senses the light level around the ve‐
hicle, and automatically controls the
headlight glare from the vehicles be‐
hind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatical‐
ly go to the brightest setting in order
to improve the driver's view behind the
vehicle.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a pa‐
per towel or similar material damp‐
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror. It may cause the liquid clean‐
er to enter the mirror housing.
