Mirrors Airbags
Interior and exterior mirrors with
automatic dimming feature
*
These mirrors automatically respond to
glare from following vehicles by
dimming through an infinitely-variable
range. The mirrors automatically revert
to their clear, undimmed setting when-
ever you select reverse.
The dimming function is regulated by
two photocells; one is integrated in the
mirror's lens (arrow), while the other is
located at an offset position on the rear
of the mirror.
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate efficiently, ensure that the
photocells remain clear and unob-
structed. Refrain from attaching
stickers to the windshield in the area
immediately in front of the mirror.

Protective effect
The front airbags protect the driver and
passenger in the event of a head-on
collision where the protection provided
by the safety belt alone would not be
adequate. The head protection airbags
and side airbags help provide protec-
tion in the event of a collision from the
side. Each of the side airbags is
designed to help support the upper
body.
