Automatic Dimming Interior Rearview Mirror Safety Precautions

WARNING:
  • To produce its unique properties, the interior rearview mirror glass is composed of several layers and contains an electrolyte. Be careful of electrolyte leaking from a broken mirror.
  • The liquid electrolyte can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.
  • If liquid electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes or skin, flush thoroughly with plenty of water. If irritation continues, see a doctor.
CAUTION:

Electrolyte leaking from a broken mirror will damage all plastic surfaces it comes in contact with. Remove spilled electrolyte immediately using clean water and a sponge.
