WARNING
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak if the mirror is
broken.
• The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory
organs, especially in people who suffer from asthma or similar illnesses. Immediately
ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air and get out of the vehicle. If this is
not possible, open all of the windows and doors.
• If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, immediately wash the area
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
• If the electrolyte fluid gets onto shoes or clothing, wash immediately with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Clean shoes and clothes thoroughly before wearing them
again.
• If the electrolyte fluid is swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a doctor.
Seek medical assistance immediately.
NOTICE
If the glass of an automatic anti-dazzle mirror is broken, electrolyte fluid can leak from the
mirror. This fluid corrodes plastic surfaces. Remove the fluid as soon as possible, e.g.
using a wet sponge.

Introduction
Automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror
When the ignition is turned on, the sensors measure the incident light from the rear
and from the front ②.
The interior mirror darkens automatically depending on the measured values.
If the incident light on the sensors is hindered or interrupted, e.g. by a sun blind or other hanging
objects, the automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror will not function or will not function correctly. Mobile
navigation devices attached to the windscreen or near the interior automatic anti-dazzle mirror can
also influence the sensors
.
The automatic anti-dazzle function will be deactivated in some situations, e.g. when reverse gear is
engaged.
