is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in

side rearview mirror, don’t fold it
by hand. It could cause motor
failure.

paper towel or similar material
