Interior rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature*
This mirror automatically responds to
ambient light and headlamp glare from
following vehicles by dimming through
an infinitely variable range and auto-
matically reverts to its clear, undimmed
setting whenever you shift into Reverse
or move the selector lever into
position R.
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate efficiently, ensure that the pho-
tocells remain clear and unobstructed.
One photocell is integrated in the mir-
ror's lens – see arrow – while the other
is located at an offset position on the
rear of the mirror. Refrain from attach-
ing stickers to the windshield in the
area immediately in front of the mirror.
