Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Automatic rear view mirror anti-dazzle
The upper electronic module receives data from two photo sensors, one on the front and one on the reverse of the rear view mirror. If the upper electronic module determines that the anti-dazzle function is required, a signal is sent to the electro-chromatic mirror which diffuses to the level required.
The signal transfer occurs internally in the rear view mirror, and is carried out directly between the upper electronic module and the anti-dazzle function.
The rear view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle can only be installed in the factory. Upgrading to, or removing an anti-dazzle rear view mirror cannot be carried out after market due to software limitations.
