WINDOWS, GLASS AND MIRRORS
Adjusting the rearview mirror
dimming function
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind,
e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles,
could reflect in the rearview mirror and door
mirrors and cause a glare. Use the dimming
function when light from behind is distract-
ing.
Auto-dim
If bright light enters the vehicle from behind,
the door mirrors will automatically dim when it
is dark outside or when lighting conditions are
low, for example when driving in tunnels.
Auto-dim is always active when the engine is
running, except when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not
be noticeable immediately but will instead
take effect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect
both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
To change the dimming sensitivity level:
1. Settings
Tap in the Top view in the center
display.
2. Tap My Car Mirrors and
3. Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming
select Normal , Dark or
168
The rearview mirror has two sensors - one
pointing forward and one pointing rearward -
which work together to identify and eliminate
glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors
ambient light, while the rearward-pointing
sensor monitors light from the headlights of
following vehicles.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-
ped with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a
parking permit, transponder, sunshade or
objects on the seats or in the cargo com-
partment in a way that prevents light from
reaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-
tion in the door and rearview mirrors will
be reduced.
