Correction

  • Because the auto dimming fluid lies between the clear glass and the chrome surface glass, some customers may notice double vision or a ghost image, which is a normal characteristic; replacing the mirror will not correct it.

    the passage

  1. Communication summary

    ミラーのゴースト像 この情報は、RPO DL3 または DL7 付きの 2003-07年式 Cadillac Escalade、Chevrolet Avalanche、Silverado、Silverado Classic、Suburban、Tahoe、GMC Sierra、Sierra Classic、Yukon、Hummer H2 に適用される。 一部の所有者から、運転席側の自動防眩アウトサイドミラー RPO DL3 または DL7 で像が二重に見える、またはゴースト像が出るという申し出があることがある。 自動防眩ミラーは 3rd サーフェス(第 3 面)クロームのガラスを使っている(自動防眩でないミラーは 1st サーフェス(第 1 面)クロームのガラスを使う)。 自動防眩の液が透明ガラスとクローム面のガラスの間にあるため、一部のユーザーは二重の像やゴースト像に気づくことがあるが、これは正常な特性である。ミラーを交換してもこの不具合は直らない。 Machine translation (unreviewed)
