The Electrochromic Mirror uses two photocell sensors to determine light conditions in the front and back of the vehicle. At night, as the glare of Headlamps from behind increases, the mirror gradually becomes darker to absorb the glare. In the daytime, the mirror is in a clear state. With the ignition switch in "RUN," battery voltage is applied to mirror connector terminal 1. With the gear selector lever in reverse, battery voltage is applied to terminal 3. The mirror will gradually change to a clear state.
With option DD0 (automatic outside mirror), the interior mirror also controls the reflectivity of the LH Outside Mirror. The LH Outside Mirror darkens or clears along with the interior mirror.
An electronic compass is contained within the Electrochromic Mirror. The compass display is located on the mirror. It presents directional displays relative to symbolic horizon lines and road lines.
The electronic compass includes a fluxgate magnetic field sensor and a microprocessor. The microprocessor receives inputs from the sensor, processes them and provides outputs to the compass display which indicates the vehicle heading, relative to the Earth's magnetic fields.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
