Interior and exterior rearview
mirror with automatic dimmer
*
By responding to the effects of ambient
light and the glare from following traffic,
these mirrors automatically dim through
an infinitely-variable range.
The mirrors automatically revert to their
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
select "Reverse."
To ensure that the mirrors continue to
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells on the interior mirror clean and un-
obstructed. One photocell (arrow) is in
the mirror glass, while the other is offset
somewhat on the opposite side of the
mirror.
