Interior Rearview Mirror; Digital Compass - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Interior rearview mirror

The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim
function that helps reduce glare from follow-
ing vehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim function
The interior rearview mirror's auto-dim func-
tion is controlled by two sensors: one point-
ing forward (located on the forward-facing
side of the mirror, which monitors the amount
of ambient light) and one pointing rearward
(located on the side of the mirror facing the
driver at the upper edge, which senses the
strength of following vehicles' headlights),
and work together to help eliminate glare.
NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g.,
parking stickers, transponders, etc., or the
rear sensor by placing objects on the par-
cel shelf or the rear seat in such a way that
light is prevented from reaching the sensor
will reduce the auto-dim function in the
interior rearview mirror and optional auto-
dim function in the door mirrors.
