LIGHT SENSITIVE OPTITRON

Light sensitive optitron meter reduces unwanted glare of
the instrument cluster to provide a fine view for the driver.
The meter is originally set to "AUTO−Norm" mode, so the
reflection of the instrument cluster is adjusted
automatically by tinting the cluster glass depending on
the lighting condition of your surroundings.
There are "AUTO" and "MANUAL" modes. To change the
mode as you like, follow the procedure below.
The reflection control switch is located in the switch box.
