Auto-dimming rear view mirrors
The exterior rear view mirror on the driver’s
side and the interior rear view mirror will
respond automatically to glare when the
ignition is switched on and incoming light
from headlamps falls on the sensor in the
interior rear view mirror.
The rear view mirrors will not react if the
automatic transmission is set to reverse gear
R or the interior lighting is switched on.

Warning!
The auto-dimming function does not react
if incoming light is not aimed directly at the
sensors in the interior rear view mirror.
The interior rear view mirror and the
exterior rear view mirror on the driver’s side
do not react, for example,
R
if the rear window sunshade is in raised
position (sedan)
R
when transporting cargo which covers
the rear window (wagon)
Light hitting the mirror(s) at certain angles
(incident light) could blind you. As a result,
you may not be able to observe traffic
conditions and could cause an accident.
