Interior rear view mirror

The interior rear view mirror is of the anti
dazzle type and can be deflected with the
lever on its underside. Certain variants have
an auto dimming rear view mirror.
The lever should be in the normal position
when you adjust the mirror.
Interior rear view mirror with auto
dimming 3
Press button 2 to activate auto dimming.
The rear view mirror has two sensors: one
forward-facing and one rear-facing sensor.
The forward-facing sensor detects whether
it is dark outside.
The rear-facing sensor detects, for
example, if the car following has not dipped
its headlights. The rear view mirror is then
darkened to prevent the strong light source
from dazzling the driver. This darkening is
stepless.
The mirror returns to its normal state when
the strong light source diminishes.
The system is disengaged when reverse
gear is selected.
Towing a tall trailer can render the system
inoperative, as light from the vehicle behind
will not reach the rear-facing sensor.
Auto dimming door mirrors 3
If the car has auto dimming door mirrors,
they are regulated by the same sensors
as the rear view mirror.
