Make certain that you close the liftgate door before driving your
vehicle. Possible damage may occur to the liftgate door lift
cylinders and attaching hardware if the liftgate door is not
closed prior to driving.
[FV09940(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent
exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This
will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out.
If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the
vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.

191 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.
*
[FV33000(ALL)01/95]
The electronic mirror measures the brightness of the light
coming in from the rear of the vehicle. It automatically makes a
correction in the glare state. The mirror may be turned off in
either the normal or non-glare position.
*
[FV33100(ALL)06/94]
There are two light sensors (photocells) in this mirror. The
sensor that detects rear glare is located inside a window in the
upper RH corner of the mirror. The second light sensor which
determines outside light level is located on the backside of the
mirror case.
*
[FV33200(ALL)01/95]
One important safety feature is that the mirror automatically
returns to the normal position whenever the vehicle is placed in
R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position). This
feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror when backing
up.
*
[FV33400(ALL)03/95]
To turn on the automatic mirror, have the key in the ON
position and push the ON button once. The light in the center
of the button will light indicating the mirror is on. To turn the
mirror off push the ON button again.
