ming with the dimming control when lights from
behind are distracting:

towards the passenger compartment.

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.
NOTE
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.
Automatic dimming is always active while driving,
apart from when gearbox reverse position is
selected. Dimming sensitivity can be adjusted in
three levels and will affect the interior rearview
and the door mirrors.
NOTE
When sensitivity is changed there is no imme-
diately noticeable change in dimming, but the
change will be complete after a while.
Settings for this function are set via the centre
display:
1. Press Settings in the top view.
2. Press
My Car Mirrors.
3. Under Auto Dim Mirrors , select
Dark or Light .
Only the rearview mirror with automatic dimming
can be equipped with a compass.
