The forward facing sensor detects brightness of the surroundings, while the rearward looking sensor is for the light from the rear. The strength of the light in the rear sensor is used by the mirror to adjust the shading. It ranges from 7 to 85%. When the reverse gear is engaged, it stops functioning.

2. | 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. |
