Automatic dimming inside rearview mirror
*
[FV50900(B F )03/93]
This mirror is equipped with an electrochromic
glare control feature that automatically darkens
the mirror, reducing glare from the headlamps
of vehicles behind you. A forward facing light
sensor measures the ambient light just as your
eyes do. When the rear facing light sensor in the
glass senses glare, such as from following
headlights, it energizes a chemical layer in the
glass causing it to darken and absorb light. As
the glare subsides, the mirror glass returns to its
normal clear state.

To turn the mirror on, push the On/Off switch,
located on the bottom of the mirror, to latch it
in the ON position. The button will be latched in
the up position and at night a low intensity
green light will be visible from the button when
the mirror is turned on. To turn the mirror off,
push the On/Off switch again and the button
will unlatch shutting off the light and the mirror
will be off.
*
[FV51100(B F )03/93]
DemonstrationÐ The mirror's operation may
be demonstrated by simulating glare as follows:
*
[FV51200(B F )03/94]
1. Cover the forward facing sensor, located on
the right side of the mirror back, with a
dark (preferably black) cloth. Hold the dark
cloth over the sensor until you notice the
mirror glass start to darken to the non-glare
state. If the surrounding lighting conditions
are too dark it may be necessary to shine
additional lighting, such as from a flashlight,
on the rearward sensor located on the glass
face.
*
[FV51400(B F )03/93]
2. Remove the cloth (and shut off the flashlight
if applicable) and the glass will return to the
clear reflective stage.
*
[FV51500(B F )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.
