Description and Operation

Description

The ECM (electrochromic inside rearview mirror) darkens the reflection of light in the rearview mirror. The front sensor detects ambient brightness, while the rear sensor detects light from behind. The light intensity at the rear sensor is used by the mirror to adjust the dimming. It varies from 7 to 85%. When reverse gear is engaged, it stops operating.

1. 1
   The forward-facing sensor determines whether the surrounding environment is dark enough for the mirror to perform its function.
2. 2
   The rear sensor detects glare reflected from the vehicle behind.
3. 3
   The ECM dims to the level determined by the rear view sensor. When glare is no longer detected, the mirror stops functioning. (1. Green status LED, 2. ON/OFF switch, 3. Rear view sensor, 4. Front sensor)
