ever, the function is switched off automati-
cally after a certain time.
See also Demisting and defrosting the wind-
screen (p. 136).
The door mirrors and rear window are demis-
ted/defrosted automatically if the car is
started in an outside temperature lower than
+7 °C. Automatic defrosting can be selected
in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR
(p. 112).
Rearview mirror - interior
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed
with a control in the mirror's lower edge.
Alternatively, the rearview mirror dims auto-
matically.
Control for dimming
Manual dimming
Bright light from behind could be reflected in
the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use
dimming with the dimming control when
lights from behind are distracting:
1. Use dimming by moving the control in
towards the passenger compartment.
2. Return to normal position by moving the
control towards the windscreen.
Automatic dimming*
Bright light from behind is automatically
dimmed by the rearview mirror. The control
for manual dimming is not available on mir-
rors with automatic dimming.
The rearview mirror contains two sensors -
one forward facing and one rearward facing -
that work together to identify and eliminate
dazzling light. The forward facing sensor
detects ambient light, while the rearward fac-
ing sensor detects the light from vehicle
headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or
objects in the seats or in the cargo area in
such a way that light is prevented from
reaching the sensors, then the dimming
function of the interior rearview and door
mirrors is reduced.
The compass (p. 106) can only be specified
for a rearview mirror with automatic dimming.
