The Electro Chromatic inside rear view Mirror (ECM) is
intended to dim the reflecting light in the rear view mirror. The
forward facing sensor detects the brightness of the surroundings while
the rearward looking sensor detects the intensity of the light from the
rear. The intensity of the light from the rear sensor is used by the
mirror to adjust the level of shading ranging from 7% to 85%. When the
reverse gear is engaged, it stops functioning.

The forward facing sensor sees if the brightness of the surroundings is low enough for the mirror to operate its function. |

The rearward looking sensor detects glaring of the reflecting light from a vehicle behind. |
| 3. |
The ECM is darkened to the level as determined by the
rearward looking sensor. When the glaring is no longer detected, the
mirror stops functioning.
