detects light from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected
light.

vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.

glare mirror sensors located on both
sides of the mirror, do not touch or
cover the sensors with your finger or
