Driver and passenger power operated sideview mirrors are standard equipment. The Power Mirror System allows
the driver to adjust both sideview mirrors electrically from the driver seat by operating a four position switch located
in the Center Console.

An inside Automatic Day/Night Rear View Mirror is also standard equipment. It is located in the traditional location
at the top and center of the windshield. The automatic day/night mirror position is manually adjustable, however the
automatic dimming feature of the mirror is not.

OPERATION

Both Sideview Mirrors are heated and each housing can manually fold in for protection. Mirror selection and move-
ment direction is controlled by a 4-way double-pole switch. Two electric motors inside each Sideview Mirror housing
actuate the glass surface in the corresponding direction that the switch is moved. The inside rear view mirror is fully
automatic and darkens to prevent glare during night driving. It operates when the following conditions are simulta-
neously met:

•

The ignition switch is in the ON position

•

Reverse gear is not selected

•

The interior lights are switched off

•

Light sensor on mirror senses headlamp glare

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR

DESCRIPTION

An Automatic Day/Night Rear View Mirror System is
standard on this model. It is a completely self-con-
tained unit (2) which is located at the top and center
of the windshield. The mirror sensitivity cannot be
repaired or adjusted; if any components of the mirror
unit itself are faulty or damaged, the entire automatic
day/night inside rear view mirror assembly must be
replaced.

OPERATION

A thin layer of electrochromatic material between two pieces of conductive glass make up the face of the mirror. The
system will automatically change the reflectance of the inside rear view mirror to protect the driver from the
unwanted headlight glare of trailing vehicles while driving at night. The self-dimming feature is defeated if the interior
lights are switched on, or the system senses the backup light circuit is energized whenever the transmission is
shifted into reverse.

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Insert a 5 mm metal dowel into the hole on the

windshield side of the mirror base.

3. Rotate the mirror base approximately 90 degrees

to the left or right.

4. Remove the courtesy lamp. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-

CAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - INTERIOR/COURTESY
LAMP SWITCH - REMOVAL).

5. Disconnect the mirror harness connector.

6. Feed the harness connector and harness past the

opening in the headliner and remove the mirror
assembly.
