The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the objects
reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that estimations
of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as precise.<

Depending on the outside temperature,
both mirrors are automatically defrosted

Inside rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature
This mirror automatically responds to
light (ambient light and headlamp glare)
by dimming through an infinitely variable
range.
The mirror automatically reverts to its
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
move the selector lever to Reverse.
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate properly, keep the two photocells
clean and unobstructed. One photocell
is integrated in the mirror glass,
the other somewhat offset on the back
of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electro-chromic
technology used in this mirror, refer
