Automatic Dimming
Mirror
If the vehicle has the automatic
dimming mirror, the driver outside
mirror automatically adjusts for the
glare of the headlamps from behind.
This feature is controlled by the on
and off setting on the inside
rearview mirror. See Automatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror on
page 2‑20 for more information.
Blind Spot Mirrors
The blind spot mirror is a small
convex mirror built into the upper
and outer corner of both outside
mirrors. It can show objects that
may be in the vehicle's blind zone.

Actual Mirror View
1. When the approaching vehicle is
a long distance away, the image
in the main mirror is small and
near the inboard edge of the
mirror.
2. As the vehicle gets closer, the
image in the main mirror gets
larger and moves outboard.
3. As the vehicle enters the blind
zone, the image transitions from
the main mirror to the blind spot
mirror.
4. When the vehicle is in the blind
zone, the image only appears in
the blind spot mirror.
