1 General Information
This Section describes the operation, dia gnosis and service operations for the internal rear-view mirror and electrically
adjustable exterior rear-view mirrors.
1.1 Interior Rear-view Mirror
The interior rear-view mirror is mounted on a boss which is
attached the centre of the windscreen. The boss is part of
the windscreen assembly. Two types of interior rear-view
mirror are available depending on the model level and/or
options fitted. These are:
• Manual day/night adjustme nt, or
• electro-chromatic day/night adjustment.
Figure 12H – 1
Manual Day/Night Adjustment
To reduce the glare of light reflected from following vehicles at night, the lever at the base of the mirror can be pulled
rearward to tilt the mirror. This enables rear vision to be maintained, but reduces the glare.
The lever should be reset to the forward position for daytime driving.
Electro-chromatic Day/Night Adjustment
The electro-chromatic interior rear-view mirror incorporates an electronically controlled mirror cell that darkens in
response to an applied electric al voltage. The mirror incorporates two light sensors.
An ambient light sensor is located on the forward facing side of the mirror and is used to automatically activate the
system when ambient light levels fall below a predetermined level. The second light sensor is mounted on the rearward
facing side of the mirror and is used to detect light from the headlights of a following vehicle.
A two position switch is located near the base of the mirror which allows the system to be set to an AUTO or OFF
position.
When off, the mirror will only operate as a single function mirror (daytime only). When switched to the AUTO position, the
mirror will function in daytime mode until the ambient light falls below the predetermined level. W hen light from a
following vehicle is detected, the mirror will automatically change colour, reducing the g lare.
If at anytime while in auto mode reverse ge ar is selected, the mirror will remain in, or revert to the daytime mode.
Rear-view Mirrors Page 12H-4
Page 12H-4
1.2 Exterior Rear-view Mirrors
The exterior rear-view mirrors are electrically controlled by
an adjustment switch fitted to the driver’s door trim. The
switch has two controls:
• side select switch (1) for operating the re quired mirror,
and
• directional toggle switch (2) for adjusting the mirror
glass position.
Two reversible electric motors are fitted within each mirror
housing, one operating vertical movement and the other
horizontal movement.
Figure 12H – 2
The exterior rear-vie w mirror hous ings are colour coded differently depending on the model level. Combinations inclu de:
• all black,
• black base with body coloured upper housing, or
• completely body colour.
Replacement exterior rear-view mirror assemblies are supplied all black. As required, the upper housing or complete
mirror body may require painting. Mask off the required sections and follow the correct refinishing techniques for acr ylat e
styrene acrylonitrile (ASA) plastic.
Memory and Heated Exterior Rear-view Mirrors
Vehicles fitted with front seats that include a position memory function also include position memory of the exterior rear-
view mirrors. This is part of the priority key function and is controlled by an exteri or rear-v iew mirror module fitted to the
driver’s front door inner panel and the se at memory module.
This provides the ability for the driver’s seat and rear-view mirror positions to be stored for several different drivers a nd
recalled at the press of the remote key or memory button on the side of the driver’s seat. Also on these vehicles, when
reverse gear is selected the passenger side mirror automatically dips to aid parking man oeuvres.
On some vehicles the exterior rear-vie w mirrors also incorporate a heating element within the mirror glass. When the rear
window demister is operational, the mirror heating element also operates.
For further information on the operation and electrical diagnostic information for the memory and heated exterior re ar-
view mirrors, refer to Section 1A7 Seat Assemblies.
For information relating to the replacement of the heated mir ror glass refer to 5.2 Exterior Mirror Glass, Heated.

2 Diagnostics, Electro-chromatic
Interior Rear-view Mirror
2.1 Prerequisites
Equipment
The following equipment is required to diagnose the electro-chromatic interior rear-view mirror:
• an unpowered test lamp with a current draw of less than 3 A,
• a digital multimeter with a minimum impe dance of 10 MΩ, refer to Section 12P Wiring Diagrams,
• connector adapter kit, special tool No. KM–609.
Testing Procedures
The following points must be adhered to
when performing diagnostic testing on
components:
• Take care when using testing equipment
to diagnose wiring harness connectors. It
is preferred the technician backprobe the
connector to avoid terminal damage.
• When tests are required on connector
terminals, use the adapters in the
connector adapter kit KM-609 to prevent
damage to the terminals.
• Unless the multimeter being used has an
auto-ranging function, ensure the correct
range is selected.
• When backpro bing connectors, ensure the
test lamp ground lead is connected to an
appropriate ground point on the vehicle.
Ensure this ground point is not part of the
circuit being tested.

2.2 Electro-chromatic Interior Rear-view
Mirror, Diagnostic Procedures
Introduction
This test is used to aid in diagnosing faults in the electro-chromatic interior rear-view mirror.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
1 Checks if the functional check has been performed.
2 Checks if there is a faulty power circuit.
3 Checks if there is a faulty input from the back-up lamp circuit.
4 Checks if there is a faulty ground circuit.
5 Checks if the back-up lamps function correctly. The electro-chromatic mirror takes an input from the back-up lamp
circuit. If the back-up lamps do function, the problem is isolated to circuit 24, or connector X300.
6 Checks if connector X300 is secure.
7 Checks if the ground point associated with the system is serviceable.
8 Isolates the problem to either circuit 24 or cir c uit 139.

ATTENTION
All fasteners are important attaching parts as they affect the performance of vital components and/or could
result in major repair expense. Where specified in this Section, fasteners MUST be replaced with parts of the
same part number or an approved equivalent. Do not use fasteners o f an inferior quality or substitute design.
Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to ensure proper retention of all components.
Throughout this Section, fastener torque wrench specifications may be accompanied with the following
identification mark:
Fasteners must be replaced after loosenin g.
