automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.

mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.

space, like an automatic car wash.
Automatic dimming rear view mirror
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming feature. When the
auto-dimming mirror is turned on,
as indicated by an illuminated green
LED to the left of the button on
mirror, it will detect bright
lights(glare) from behind the vehicle, and will change from the normal,
high reflective state, to the darkened state to minimize glare.
When the auto-dimming mirror is turned on, it will automatically return
to the normal, high reflective, state whenever the vehicle is placed in
R(reverse) to ensure a clear view while backing up.
Do not block the sensor located to the right of the mirror button or the
sensor located on the back side of the mirror as this may impair mirror
performance.
