from the headlights of following vehicles, could
reflect in the rearview mirror and door mirrors
and cause a glare. Use the dimming function
when light from behind is distracting.

door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is
always active when the engine is running, except
when reverse gear is engaged.

ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor

vehicles.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equipped
with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking
permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on
the seats or in the cargo compartment in a
way that prevents light from reaching the sen-
sors, the auto-dim function in the door and
rearview mirrors will be reduced.
