Rear View Mirror

The rear view mirror has an automatic anti-dazzle function for when light from behind the car is too bright in the mirror (option in certain markets).

One photo sensor on the front of the rear view mirror, and one on the rear side compare light intensity. When the intensities differ by a specified amount the anti-dazzle function compensates to the required degree. The upper electronic module receives and manages the signals from the two photo sensors.

The anti-dazzle function can be set to the customer requirements. The selectable values are Light, Normal and Dark. Initial setting is Normal.

LEDs for the seat belt reminder are located in the rear view mirror, above the mirror lens.

CAUTION:

The rear view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle can only be installed in the factory. Upgrading to, or removing an anti-dazzle rear view mirror cannot be carried out after market due to software limitations.

There are diagnostics for the functions in the rear view mirror.
