Mirror with automatic dimming
The mirror dimming » Fig. 52 -  is automatically controlled after the engine
start.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
WARNING
Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
■
mirror with automatic dimming. The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror - it could cause an acci-
dent.
The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling
■
on the sensors is not compromised (e.g. by the sunshade at the back). The
sensors are located on the front and back of the mirror.
