Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Inside
Rearview Mirror
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps 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
when headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced. The mirror will also
return to its clear daytime state when the vehicle is put
into REVERSE (R).
Press the AUTO button at the base of the mirror to turn
on the automatic feature. The button has an indicator
light to show it is on. Press the OFF button to turn the
automatic feature off.
Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.
Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.

2-44 Power Remote Control Mirror
The control is located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the upper control to the left or right to choose
the mirror, then press the arrows on the control pad to
adjust the mirror.
Convex Outside Mirror
A convex mirror's surface is curved so you can see
more from the driver's seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver's and passenger's outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice, snow and
condensation. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the
Index for more information.
Electrochromic Rearview Outside Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. See ªElectrochromic
Day/Night Inside Rearview Mirrorº earlier in this section.
