A gel type EC mirror cell (which consists of a liquid type electrochromic material situated between transparent conductive films) is used, achieving glare-prevention using an electrochemical reduction-oxidation reaction*. Also, the LCD screen and guided light plate are overlapped in the lower layer to create a mechanism that displays images from the inner mirror camera in the mirror surface.
Tech Tips
*: A phenomenon wherein a material is colorless while voltage is not applied, but achieves coloration due to an electrochemical reduction-oxidation reaction when voltage is applied.

When the MENU/OK switch is pressed while in digital mirror mode, the adjustment icons are displayed.
| Icon No. | Function |
|---|---|
| *1 | The automatic anti-glare function can be turned on and off. |
| *2 | The brightness of the digital inner mirror screen can be adjusted. |
| *3 | The display image can be adjusted up and down. |
| *4 | The display image can be adjusted left and right. |
| *5 | The angle of the display image can be adjusted. |
| *6 | The display image can be zoomed in and out. |
| *7 | PLS mode can be turned on and off. When PLS mode is turned on, the PLS indicator is displayed in the top left of the digital inner mirror screen. |
| *8 | The adjustment icon display disappears. |
The height of the digital inner mirror can be adjusted according to driving posture. Hold the mirror and adjust the height up and down.
A sensor that detects rearward light and a sensor that detects surrounding light are built into the digital inner mirror.
