Setting the autolamp
[IP13401(ALL)11/93]
This feature allows the Autolamp circuit to be adjusted, to the
driver's liking, for the headlamps to turn on for the amount of
ambient light. If the driver desires the headlamps to come on
earlier when the sky is brighter or later when the sky is darker,
then the following procedure should be performed to satisfy the
driver's requirement.
[IP13410(ALL)03/94]
Move the Autolamp Delay slider knob to the far left position
with the vehicle in park and ignition in the RUN position. Then
press the mirror DIM and Autolamp ON switches
simultaneously. The Autolamp ON LED will flash, indicating it's
into the special mode. Slowly slide the Autolamp Delay control
to the right until the DIM LED is on steadily. This indicates the
current setting for the early/late headlamp. (The factory setting
would fall in the middle of the control slide range.)
[IP13420(ALL)03/94]
If earlier activation of the headlamps is desired, slide the
Autolamp Delay slider knob to the left. The DIM LED will start
flashing, indicating that the setting is being changed. The further
left the control is moved the earlier the headlamps will come
on. Pressing the Autolamp button will enter the new setting and
return the mirror back to normal operation.
[IP13430(ALL)03/94]
If later activation of the headlamps is desired, slide the
Autolamp Delay slider knob to the right. The DIM LED will
start flashing, indicating that the setting is being changed. The
further right the control is moved, the later the headlamps will
come on. Pressing the Autolamp switch will enter the new
setting and return the mirror back to the normal operation.
*
[IP13440(ALL)03/93]
To turn the autolamp off, press the On/Off button. The

The automatic non-glare mirror

[FV32900(ALL)01/95]

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.
*
[FV33500(ALL)05/93]
The mirror can be temporarily darkened, if wanted, by pushing
the Dim button. After releasing the button, the mirror will
return to the previous operation mode after a short delay.

*
[FV34600(ALL)01/93]
