The forward facing sensor detects ambientlight, while the rearward facing sensor detectsthe light from vehicle headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects inthe seats or in the cargo area in such a waythat light is prevented from reaching the sen-sors, then the dimming function of the interiorrearview and door mirrors is reduced.
Automatic dimming is always active while driving, apart from when gearbox reverse position isselected. Dimming sensitivity can be adjusted inthree levels and will affect the interior rearviewand the door mirrors.
