Automatic Day/Night Mirror

An Automatic Day/Night Rear View Mirror System is standard on this model. It is a completely self-contained unit (2) which is located at the top and center of the windshield. The mirror sensitivity cannot be repaired or adjusted; if any components of the mirror unit itself are faulty or damaged, the entire automatic day/night inside rear view mirror assembly must be replaced.

A thin layer of electrochromatic material between two pieces of conductive glass make up the face of the mirror. The system will automatically change the reflectance of the inside rear view mirror to protect the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of trailing vehicles while driving at night. The self-dimming feature is defeated if the interior lights are switched on, or the system senses the backup light circuit is energized whenever the transmission is shifted into reverse.
