Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors
G WARNING

from striking the sensor in the rear-view mir-
ror, for instance, by luggage piled too high in
the vehicle, the mirror's automatic anti-dazzle
function will not operate.
Incident light could then blind you. This may
distract you from the traffic conditions and,
as a result, you may cause an accident.

on the driver's side automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the following conditions are
met simultaneously:
R
the ignition is switched on and
R
incident light from headlamps strikes the
sensor in the rear-view mirror.

reverse gear is engaged or if the interior light-
ing is switched on.
