Automatic Dimming Inside Rearview Mirror (If equipped) The automatic non-glare mirror The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. This mirror functions at night, and has a limited function at dusk or dawn. From the non-glare state, the mirror will return to the normal state after a short delay. The delay starts when the glare goes away. The delay prevents excessive changing of the mirror as traffic moves behind and around the vehicle, or on rolling hills and curves. To turn the mirror on, push the ON/OFF switch, located on the bottom of the mirror, to latch it in the ON position. The switch will illuminate and the mirror will be in the automatic dimming mode. To turn the switch illumination and automatic dimming feature off, push the ON/OFF switch again. 100
