Electric type (if equipped)The electric day/night rearview mir-
ror automatically 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 (10% to
70 %) 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 auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.Type A (with compass)
