Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror During the day the mirror reflects all the light from behind your car. At night, when the glare is too high, it changes to the night mode. Then, it reflects only part of the light from behind you. When the mirror changes to the night mode, it holds that position until glare is no longer present. There is an automatic and an off setting. When the button on the bottom of the mirror is pressed up, the mirror reacts to glare conditions automatically. Press the button again to turn off the automatic setting. r I m I Time Delay The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic. Your Aurora has an electrochromic dayhight rearview mirror. The mirror adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind you. It detects changes in light, then adjusts for day or night operation. Reverse Gear Day Mode The reverse modeis another important featureof the mirror. When the shift lever is placed in REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode. This gives you a bright image in the mirror as you back up.
