ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light

chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor

go to the brightest setting in order to
