Electric type (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle. Type A (if equipped)

ic- dimming function on, the mirror indi-
cator light will illuminate.

the automatic- dimming function off. The
mirror indicator light will turn off.  Type B (if equipped)

ic- dimming function off. The mirror indi-
cator light will turn off.

dimming function on, the mirror indicator

within fractions of a second via the
engine computer and brake system and
attempts to stabilize the vehicle.
