ically controls the glare from the
headlights of the vehicles behind you
in nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
When the vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode the glare is automatically con-
trolled by the sensor mounted in the
rearview mirror.

into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
