WINDOWS, GLASS AND MIRRORS
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
matic dimming, the interior rearview mirror
must also be equipped with automatic dim-
ming.
Adjusting rearview mirror dimming
Automatic dimming*
Bright light from behind is automatically
dimmed by the interior rearview and door mir-
rors. Automatic dimming is always active
while driving, apart from when gearbox
reverse position is selected.
Bright light from behind could be reflected in
the rearview mirrors and dazzle the driver.
Use dimming when disturbed by light from
behind.
Manual dimming
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed
with a control in the mirror's lower edge.
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or
objects in the seats or in the cargo area in
such a way that light is prevented from
reaching the sensors, then the dimming
function of the interior rearview and door
mirrors is reduced.
When sensitivity is changed there is no
immediately noticeable change in dim-
ming, but the change takes place gradu-
ally.
Dimming sensitivity will affect both the interior
rearview mirror and the door mirrors.

ward facing sensor detects the light from vehi-
cle headlights behind.
