Inside rear-view mirror

Before driving your vehicle, check to see that your inside rear-view mirror is properly positioned. Adjust the rear-view mirror so that the view through the rear window is properly centred.

Make sure your line of sight is not obstructed. Do not place objects on the rear seat or in the luggage compartment that may interfere with your vision through the rear window.

To prevent serious injury during a collision or deployment of the airbag, do not modify the rear-view mirror and do not install a wide mirror.

Never adjust the mirror whilst driving. This may cause loss of vehicle control and result in a collision.

When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as this may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)

2C_InsideRearViewMirrorECM

  1. Indicator

When the engine is running, the glare from vehicle headlamps behind you is automatically controlled by the sensor mounted in the rear-view mirror.

Whenever the the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), the mirror automatically goes to the brightest setting in order to improve the driver's view behind the vehicle.

Digital centre mirror (DCM)

The digital centre mirror is a system that uses the camera on the rear of the vehicle and displays the rear image on the screen of the digital centre mirror. The digital centre mirror allows the driver to see the rear view despite obstructions, such as the headrest or luggage, ensuring rear visibility.

Be sure to read the precautions and instructions before using the digital centre mirror. Failure to follow the precautions and instructions for proper use of digital centre mirror may result in serious injury:

  • The driver is responsible for driving safely when using the digital centre mirror. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Always check the blind spot of the digital centre mirror before driving.

  • Never operate the digital centre mirror whilst driving. This may cause loss of vehicle control and result in a collision.

  • Never disassemble or modify the digital centre mirror’s camera unit or wirings.

    If you notice smoke or any smell coming from the digital centre mirror, stop using the system immediately. We recommend that the system be inspected by an authorised Genesis repairer.

  • The image areas displayed in the conventional rear-view mirror mode and the digital centre mirror mode are different. Check the image areas displayed in different modes before driving the vehicle.

  • Switch to the conventional rear-view mirror mode when the digital centre mirror is not functioning normally. A light beam or flash may appear if strong light sources such as direct sunlight or vehicle headlamps obstruct the rear-view camera.

  • Always keep the rear view camera lens clean. If the lens is blocked or covered, the digital centre mirror may not operate normally. Clean with a damp soft cloth.

Precautions whilst using the digital centre mirror

  • Do not clean the mirror with cleaning agents containing thinners, benzene, alcohol, or other petroleum based cleaning products.

  • Do not contaminate the rear view camera lens with organic solvent, vehicle wax, window cleaner, or glass coating when washing the vehicle. If contaminated, wipe it off as soon as possible.

  • Clean the camera lens with a damp soft cloth. Scratching or damaging the lens surface may reduce digital centre mirror performance.

  • Never disassemble or modify the digital centre mirror’s camera unit or wirings, and never apply any impact on it.

  • To prevent the battery from discharging, do not use the digital centre mirror when the engine is not running.

  • Do not attach an antenna of a wireless device near the digital centre mirror. Electronic waves from a wireless device may cause disturbed images.

  • Never rotate the body of digital centre mirror more than 90 degrees or excessively press the adjustment buttons.

If you suspect a malfunction whilst using the digital centre mirror, push the mode selection lever towards the front windscreen to switch to the conventional rear-view mirror mode. We recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised Genesis repairer.
