goes to work.

behind you. When
the mirror darkens, it holds that position until the
glare
is no longer present.

Your automatic rearview mirror has different positions for light
sensitivity. At the
"MAX" setting, bright headlights far away will cause
the mirror to gradually darken. This is a good setting for rural driving. At
the
"MIN' setting, bright headlights have to be rather close for the
mirror to darken. This is a good setting for city driving.

This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your

steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount of steering effort is greatly increased to provide
a manual like
steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability\
