AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Your vehicle is equipped with an
inside rear view mirror and a
driver’s outside mirror that has an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights
(glare) reach the inside mirror. When the inside mirror detects bright
light from behind the vehicle, the inside rear view mirror and the driver’s
outside mirror will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.

mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
