Automatic dimming inside rearview mirror
*
[FV50900(B F )03/93]
This mirror is equipped with an electrochromic
glare control feature that automatically darkens
the mirror, reducing glare from the headlamps
of vehicles behind you. A forward facing light
sensor measures the ambient light just as your
eyes do. When the rear facing light sensor in the
glass senses glare, such as from following
headlights, it energizes a chemical layer in the
glass causing it to darken and absorb light. As
the glare subsides, the mirror glass returns to its
normal clear state.
