GENERAL DESCRIPIIOM
ELECTRONIC GLARE CONTROL MIRROR
Service procedures regarding this mirror are
found in the Body Section of this manual.
Fig. 601 EGC Mirror
The EGC mirror has light sensors which monitor
activity in front and back of the mirror and compensate
for brightly lit or extremely dark driving conditions.
After glare is no longer detected in the night mode, a
short time delay is automatically activated, preventing
unnecessary changing as traffic moves in and out
behind the car.
As an added feature, the Automatic
Day/Night
Mirror will hold in the normal viewing mode whenever
the shift selector is placed in reverse. This assures you
of a bright, clear view while backing up.
The Automatic Mirror with EGC (Electornic
Glare Control) is a technological breakthrough using
advanced computer circuitry. It is powered by the
vehicle electrical system and requires no batteries or
scheduled maintenance. Power is drawn only when the
ignition is on.
Illuminated Distance Dial provides a full
range of adjustments to match your eye sensitivity.
Night Mode Indicator illuminates green when
mirror switches to the non-glare position.
Light Sensors monitor ambient lighting
conditions and
headlamp glare, then adjust the mirror
accordingly.
Auto-Off Switch allows fully automatic
operation or manual selection.
