Electrochromatic Rear View Mirror

The function of the electrochromatic rear-view mirror is to vary the reflectivity of the mirror glass. The mirror automatically varies its reflectivity to accommodate changes in traffic and light conditions to provide the driver with optimized forward and rear vision.

The mirror contains an ambient sensor (forward facing) and a glare sensor (rearward facing). Sensitivity control is adjustable and at the lowest end of sensitivity control is system off. A reverse over-ride facility is incorporated; when reverse gear is selected, the mirror operates in a high reflective state.
