Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors*
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting
is switched on.

Risk of accident
If the incident light from headlamps cannot
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance, when the rear window roller sun-
blind* is extended, the mirror's automatic
anti-dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. In this
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually.
