MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function (available as an option on the outside driver's side
mirror). The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal
state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror.
When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it will
automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the
backside of the mirror since this
may impair proper mirror
performance.
Ensure the mirror is pulled down
low enough to prevent visibility
interference with the moon roof
controls. The mirror support arm
has two pivot points which lets you
adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from SIDE to SIDE.
Press the control to turn the mirror on or off.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a
bright clear view when backing up.
Power side view mirrors
The ignition must be in ACC or ON position to adjust the power side
view mirrors.
To adjust your mirrors:

or R to adjust the right mirror.
