Mirrors: Description and Operation

The exterior mirrors have the following features:
^ exterior mirror motor
^ fold-away type
^ controlled by the exterior mirror control switch
^ heated exterior mirror glass

There are two types of interior rear view mirrors available:
^ manual day/night interior rear view mirror
^ auto-dimming interior rear view mirror

The available automatic dimming feature:
^ functions mainly at night with limited function at dawn or dusk.
^ will change from normal to non-glare mode when headlight glare reaches the auto-dimming interior rear view mirror. The auto-dimming interior mirror measures the brightness of the light from the rear of the vehicle. It automatically makes a correction in the reflective properties of the mirror and reduces the glare.
^ automatically adjusts the sensitivity of the auto-dimming interior mirror. From the non-glare mode the auto-dimming interior mirror returns to normal after a short delay. The delay begins when the glare goes away and eliminates readjustment of the auto-dimming interior mirror as traffic moves behind or around the vehicle.
^ function may be disabled by pressing the auto-dimming interior mirror-mounted MIRROR switch. A small indicator lamp is located on the RH side of the switch.
^ will automatically lock the auto-dimming interior mirror into the normal state whenever the transmission is placed in the REVERSE mode to provide a clear view when backing up.
