Rear View Mirrors - Rear View Mirrors
Description and Operation
Interior Rear View Mirror

The interior rear view mirror is an elec trochromic unit that automatically darken s to prevent glare from following vehicle
lights. This automatic function is selected by pressing the switch at the bottom of the mirror. Pressing the switch again
cancels this function. An LE D then illuminates when automatic dipping is operative.
A Night Sentinel light sensing unit also incorporated in the mi rror casing, provides for automatic control of the vehicle lights.

Door Rear View Mirrors

The door mirrors are cheater mounted, colo r-keyed units, remote electrically adjustable and heated. Adjustment of both
mirrors is carried out from the driver's door switchpack. A slider switch selects the mirror to be adjusted, and a disc switch
adjusts the selected mirror to the required position.

Mirror adjustment can only be made when the ignition switch is in position I or II or the driver's door is open, and the
selector switch is moved from the central position.
When fitted, electrochromic door mirrors au tomatically darken under control of the interior rear view mirror. Mirror heating
elements operate on selection of backlight heating.
Automatic dipping of passenger door mirror for kerb view when reversing, is fitted as part of the memory pack. With the
ignition switch in position II, the mirror selector switch in the left or right position and reverse gear selected, automatic
dipping is initiated by moving the mirro r toggle switch rearwards and releasing.
On receipt of the dip signal, th e passenger door mirror is driven downwards eith er 7 degrees, bottom of travel, or 4,5 to 5,5
seconds, whichever occurs first. Subsequent rear ward movement of the toggle switch achieves further dipping of the mirror
in the same increments and sequence.
The mirror can be manually returned to the normal memorised position by moving the toggle switch forward with reverse
gear selected. The mirror will automatically return to memorised position on deselection of reverse gear, or moving ignition
switch from position II.
Door mirror fold-back where fitted, to facilitate parking in conf ined spaces, can be initiated when the ignition switch is in
position I or II, the mirror selector switch is in the centra l position and vehicle speed is below 19 km/h (12 mph). Mirror
fold-back is then initiated by moving the toggle switch rear wards and releasing it. The door mirrors are returned to the
normal driving position by ag ain moving toggle switch rearwards. There is no speed constraint on this operation.
In the event of a fold-back mirror becoming 'out of position' du e to accidental impact, it must only be re-positioned by
initiating the fold-back sequence.
Loss of power supplies will result in loss of mirror fold-back memory. In the event of such a memory loss with mirrors in the
normal position, fold-back will operate on second movement of the toggle swit ch. On loss of memory with mirrors in the
fold-back position, they will return to the no rmal position on next fold-back operation.

Door Glass.
The 5 mm tempered and tinted door glass forms part of a fully framed electrically operated system. A switchpack installed
in each door casing provides control of lowering and raising of that particular d oor glass with additional 'one-shot' fast
lowering . The driver's door switchpack also provides for independent control of each passenger door glass and total
isolation of all passenger door glass control. Each door glas s is raised and lowered by an electrically operated scissor
mechanism. All door glass can only be operated wh en the ignition switch is in position I or II.
