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

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.
*
[CF30900(ALL)05/96]
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.
*
[CF31000(ALL)01/96]
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.
*
[CF31100(ALL)05/96]
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.
[CF31200(ALL)04/96]
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.
[CF31300(ALL)04/96]
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.

Close your door and adjust the driver's seat to the most
comfortable position before you adjust the side view mirrors.
[CF37500(ALL)12/95]
If you have manually adjusting side view mirrors, you can
adjust them in any direction by moving the mirror glass. The
mirror heads should be folded rearward to prevent damage
when using an automatic car wash.

[CF37600(ALL)01/96]
NOTE: Be careful. The convex side view mirror on the right
makes objects appear smaller and farther away than
they actually are. Use the inside rearview mirror (or
look behind you) to determine the actual size and
distance of objects that appear in the convex mirror.
