Automatic
Your Cadillac may
have the optional
automatic
electrochromic
rearview mirror.
You may have the mirror that has a Three-position switch:
OFF, MIN and
MAX. If you do, just select a setting that suits your needs. When selecting
the
MAX setting, bright headlights far away will cause the mirror to
gradually darken. Use this setting in rural driving. By selecting the
MIN
setting, bright headlights have to be rather close for the mirror to darken.
Use this setting
for city driving.

This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from headlights behind
you.
A photocell on the back of the mirror senses when it is becoming
dark outside. Another photocell built into the mirror surface senses the
headlights behind you.
The mirror will darken gradually to reduce glare. This change may take a
few seconds.
