Body Electrical System

Electro Chromic Inside Rear View Mirror

Body Electrical System

2009 > G 2.7 DOHC >

DESCRIPTION

The electrochromatic rear view mirror detects the ambient light using a built-in sensor and adjusts the reflectability of
the mirror to prevent excess light (such as the light emitted by a following vehicle's headlights) from reaching the
driver's eyes during night driving. To allow for maximum vision while backing up, the electrochromatic functionality of
the mirror is deactivated whenever the transaxle is in 'R' range.

1. The front sensor sees if the brightness of the surroundings is low enough for the mirror to operate its function.

2. The rearward looking sensor detects glaring of the reflecting light from a following vehicle.

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.

INSPECTION

Check it by the procedure below to see if the function of the ECM is normal.

1. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.

2. Cover the front sensor to stop functioning.

3. Shine a light at the rear sensor.

4. The ECM should be darkened as soon as the rear sensor detects the light.

If this test is performed in daytime, the mirror may be darkened as soon as the looking sensor is covered.

5. When the reverse gear is engaged, the ECM should not be darkened.

REPLACEMENT

1. Push the inside rear view mirror base down to remove the inside rear view mirror assembly (A) after removing the

mirror wire cover.

Take care not to damage the mounting bracket during removal.

2. Installation is the reverse of removal.
