Inside Rearview Mirror Description and Operation LWBRHD

Manual Day/Night Rearview Mirror

The manual day/night rearview mirror is mounted to a boss which is attached to the centre of the windshield. The boss is a part of the windshield assembly. To reduce the glare from vehicles following at night the lever at the base of the manual day/night rearview mirror can be pulled rearward to tilt the mirror. This enables rear vision to be maintained, but reduces glare.

Electro-chromatic Rearview Mirror

The electro-chromatic rearview mirror is mounted to a boss which is attached to the centre of the windshield. The boss is a part of the windshield assembly. The electro-chromatic rearview mirror uses 2 light sensors. One sensor is the headlight sensor, located on the face side of the electro-chromatic rearview mirror. The headlight sensor is used to determine light conditions present at the electro-chromatic rearview mirror face. The other sensor is the ambient light sensor, located on the front of the electro-chromatic rearview mirror or windshield side. The ambient light sensor is used to determine light conditions present at the Electro-chromatic rearview mirror. With automatic day/night feature enabled, the electro-chromatic rearview mirror uses the ambient light sensor to determine the exterior light condition. With a low light condition detected, and a high light condition from behind at the headlight sensor, the electro-chromatic rearview mirror will automatically darken the electro-chromatic rearview mirror face.

With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position, backup lamp supply voltage is supplied as an input to the electro-chromatic rearview mirror. The electro-chromatic rearview mirror monitors this input to disable the automatic day/night feature which allows the face to gradually change to a normal state. This allows the driver to see objects in the electro-chromatic rearview mirror clearly when backing up.

Telematic Rearview Mirror

The telematic rearview mirror is mounted to a boss which is attached to the centre of the windshield and secured with a retaining screw. The boss is a part of the windshield assembly. The telematic rearview mirror uses 2 light sensors. One sensor is the headlight sensor, located on the face side of the telematic rearview mirror. The headlight sensor is used to determine light conditions present at the telematic rearview mirror face. The other sensor is the ambient light sensor, located on the front of the telematic rearview mirror or windshield side. The ambient light sensor is used to determine light conditions present at the telematic mirror. With automatic day/night feature enabled, the telematic rearview mirror uses the ambient light sensor to determine the exterior light condition. With a low light condition detected, and a high light condition from behind at the headlight sensor, the telematic rearview mirror will automatically darken the face of the telematic rearview mirror.

With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position, backup lamp supply voltage is supplied as an input to the telematic rearview mirror. The telematic rearview mirror monitors this input to disable the automatic day/night feature which allows the face to gradually change to a normal state. This allows the driver to see objects in the telematic rearview mirror clearly when backing up.

The telematic rearview mirror has 4 switches that perform the following functions:

    • The on/off switch located at the left side of the telematic rearview mirror turns the automatic day/night feature on/off.
    • The 3 switches on the right-hand side of the telematic rearview mirror are for the Holden Assist operation.
