TRIM-INTERIOR Automatic dimming interior mirror The automatic interior mirror darkens when the driver is "blinded" from behind. It consists of a mirror element and two photo sensors. The electronic circuitry recognizes light incidence for the front and rear through the photo sensors. If the light incidence is greater from the rear than from the front the circuitry applies voltage to the conductive coating. An increase in voltage darkens the electrolyte and less of the light incidence is reflected to the driver's eye.

~

The automatic dimming function can be checked by switching on the ignition, covering the front photo sensor (3) and shining a flashlight at the rear photo sensor (item 2). The mirror should darken if reverse gear is not engaged.

NOTEWhen selecting reverse gear the dimming function of the mirror is switched off enabling the mirror to be effectively used to back up the vehicle (i.e. from a dark garage).
