paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on

mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.

ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver’s view
behind the vehicle.
