Rearview mirror - interior
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed with
a control in the mirror's lower edge. Alternatively,
the rearview mirror dims automatically.
Control for dimming
Manual dimming
Bright light from behind could be reflected in the
rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dim-
ming 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 con-
trol 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 mirrors with auto-
matic 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 facing sensor detects
the light from vehicle headlights behind.
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in
the seats or on the parcel shelf in such a way
that light is prevented from reaching the sen-
sors, then the dimming function of the interior
rearview and door mirrors is reduced.
Only rearview mirror with automatic dimming can
be equipped with compass (p. 104).
