Mirrors: Description and Operation

Rear View Mirrors

The manual dipping mirror is a prismatic unit with mirror dipping achieved by pulling the lever forward.

Where fitted, electrochromic mirrors automatically darken to prevent glare from following vehicle lights. The mirror is equipped with a reflecting surface light sensor to enable this feature.

During daytime driving, the an ambient light sensor will detect high ambient light levels that control the interior rear view mirror to provide a full, clear reflection. During night driving, the ambient light sensor will detect low ambient light levels and automatic glare reduction shall occur.

A day/night mirror sensitivity switch on the interior rear view mirror will allow the driver to select the sensitivity range from "MIN" (minimum) to "MAX" (maximum) sensitivity. The switch can also be set to an "OFF" position to disable all automatic glare functions.

The door mirrors are cheater mounted, colour-coded, remote electrically adjustable and heated. Adjustment of both mirrors is carried out from the driver door switch pack. A slider switch selects the mirror to be adjusted, and a toggle switch adjusts the selected mirror to the required position.

Automatic dipping of the door mirrors when reversing is fitted as part of the memory pack. With the ignition switch in position II and the reverse gear selected, automatic dipping will be initiated.
