pressing on the edge of it by hand. 
Dimming the mirrors 
Manual dimming rearview mirror 
> Pull the  lever on the bottom of the mirror back. 
Automatic dimming rearview mirror* 
> The interior and exterior mirrors* dim automat- 
ically when light shines on them, for example 
from headlights on a vehicle behind you. 
  
  
unless this is recommended by medical pro- 
fessionals. Seek medical attention immedi- 
ately. 
    
  
ZA WARNING 
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror 
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid 
can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory sys- 
tem. If there is contact with the fluid, flush 
immediately with plenty of water. Consult a 
physician if necessary. 
— Repeated or long-term exposure to electro- 
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air- 
ways, especially in people with asthma or 
other respiratory  conditions. Take deep 
breaths immediately after leaving the vehi- 
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the 
doors and windows as wide as possible. 
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with 
the  eyes, flush them thoroughly with plenty 
of clean water for at least 15 minutes and 
then seek medical attention. 
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with 
the skin, flush the affected area with clean 
water for at least 15 minutes, and then 
clean with soap and water and seek medical 
attention. Clean  affected clothing and shoes 
thoroughly before wearing again. 
— If the fluid was swallowed and the person is 
conscious, flush the mouth with water for at 
least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting

— If the light reaching the rearview mirror is 
obstructed, the automatic dimming mirror 
will not function correctly,
