Automatic antiglare rear view mirror
The reflection brightness of the exterior

the inside rear view mirror will respond au-
tomatically to glare when
ț the ignition is switched on, and
ț incoming light from headlamps falls on
the sensor in the inside rear view mir-
ror.

ț reverse gear is engaged
ț the interior lighting is turned on
ț the wind screen is installed
(
page 134)
Warning! G
The automatic antiglare function does not
react if incoming light is not aimed directly
at sensors in the inside rear view mirror.
The inside rear view mirror and the exterior
rear view mirror on the driver’s side do not
react, for example, if the wind screen is in-
stalled.
Glare can endanger you and others.
Warning! G
In the case of an accident, liquid electrolyte
may escape from the mirror housing if the
mirror glass breaks.
Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not al-
low the liquid to come into contact with
eyes, skin, clothing, or the respiratory sys-
tem. In case it does, immediately flush af-
fected area with water, and seek medical
help if necessary.
