Gentex is providing a rearview mirror with integrated display for the Mazda CX-5 sold in Japan that allows the vehicle to meet unique Japanese safety requirements.
The automatic dimming interior mirror with integrated 3.3-inch liquid crystal display shows the view from the vehicle’s backup camera but also, at the press of a button, shows the view along the passenger side of the vehicle from a camera located in the exterior mirror.

In Japan, vehicle safety regulations dictate that all vehicles meet what is often referred to as the ‘one-metre pole’ requirement. It states that drivers must be able to view, either directly or in their mirrors, a one meter tall by 0.3 metre diameter cylinder placed directly in front of or alongside the passenger side of the vehicle.
Automakers usually comply with the regulation by using an offside fender mirror which helps eliminate the passenger-side blind zone. While fender mirrors do offer a solution they often are not a part of the vehicle’s initial design and can look out of place.
The passenger side monitor and rear camera display are standard equipment on the CX-5 sold in Japan.
