Electrochromic mirror (ECM) (if
equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati‐
cally controls the glare from the head‐ lights of the vehicles behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi‐
tions. The sensor (3) mounted in the mirror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls the
headlight glare from the vehicles be‐ hind 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 automatical‐
ly go to the brightest setting in order
to improve the drivers view behind the vehicle.
