The automatic non-glare mirror
*
[FV51700( X)01/95]
The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal
state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the
mirror. This mirror functions at night, and has a limited
function at dusk or dawn. From the non-glare state, the mirror
will return to the normal state after a short delay. The delay
starts when the glare goes away. The delay prevents excessive
changing of the mirror as traffic moves behind and around the
vehicle, or on rolling hills and curves.

upper RH corner of the mirror. The second light sensor which

returns to the normal position whenever the vehicle is placed in
