Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati-
cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the vehicle behind you at
night or during low light driving condi-
tions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.To operate the electric rearview mirror:
• Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func-
tion off. The mirror indicator light
will turn off.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func-
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.

tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
