The electronic control system operates  
by comparing the respective levels of  
luminous intensity in front of and behind  
the car. The difference provides the  
basic parameter used to modulate an  
electrical current and induce chemical  
changes in a semisolid layer incorpo-  
rated in the lens.  
The semisolid reacts chemically to this  
electrical current, thus providing infi-  
nitely-variable dimming of the mirror  
(electrochromic technology).  
As a result, it is no longer necessary  
to dim the mirror manually, and the  
driver can maintain full concentration  
on traffic.  
The DSP Professional premium sound  
system features a special amplifier  
combined with Digital Sound  
The interior and exterior mirrors with  
automatic dimming feature reduce the  
glare from following traffic by adapting  
the intensity of the reflected images to  
correspond to levels of light registered  
by the unit's sensors. The mirrors revert
