Description and Operation

Description

The ECM (Electrochromic Inside Rearview Mirror) darkens the mirror to reduce glare from light reflected from vehicles behind at night. The front-facing sensor detects ambient brightness, and the rear-facing sensor detects the intensity of reflected light and adjusts the mirror reflectance in the range of 7~85%. However, it stops functioning when the reverse gear is engaged.

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 darkens to the level determined by the rear-view sensor. When glare is no longer detected, the mirror stops functioning. 1. LED Indicator 2. ON/OFF Switch 3. Rear View Sensor 4. Front Sensor
