Description And Operation: Description: Outside

The automatic dimming driver side outside rear view mirror is able to automatically change its reflectance. The automatic dimming outside rear view mirror replaces the standard equipment outside rear view mirror. The two layers of conductive mirror glass with a thin layer of electrochromic material between them is contained within the outside rear view mirror glass case. However, this mirror relies upon the photocells and mirror control circuitry of the automatic dimming inside rear view mirror to control its reflectance.

The automatic dimming outside rear view mirror is secured to the same mounting flag on the front door panel and in the same manner that is used to mount the standard equipment outside rear view mirrors. The mirror is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the front door wire harness. The automatic dimming circuitry of the outside rear view mirror receives current through auto day/night mirror feed (+) and return (-) circuits from the inside rear view mirror, and will only operate when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions.

The automatic dimming outside rear view mirror sensitivity cannot be repaired or adjusted. If any component of this unit is ineffective or damaged, the entire outside rear view mirror unit must be replaced.
