Exterior Mirror - Skoda Octavia COMBI 2007 Owner's Manual

Switching off the automatic dimming
– Press again the button
If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically
depending on the light striking the mirror from the rear. The mirror has no lever on
the bottom edge of the mirror. When the interior lights are switched on or the
reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always moves back into the basic position.
Note
•
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for the rear
window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior rear-view mirror is
not affected by other objects.
•
Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair the
automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.
•
If you switch off the automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, also the exte-
rior mirror dimming is switched off.
