Bright light entering the vehicle from behind, e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles,could reflect in the rearview mirror and doormirrors and cause a glare. Use the dimmingfunction when light from behind is distract-ing.
Auto-dimIf bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the door mirrors will automatically dim when itis dark outside or when lighting conditions arelow, for example when driving in tunnels.Auto-dim is always active when the engine isrunning, except when reverse gear is engaged.

The forward-pointing sensor monitorsambient light, while the rearward-pointingsensor monitors light from the headlights offollowing vehicles. For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto- dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-ped with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade orobjects on the seats or in the cargo com-partment in a way that prevents light fromreaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-tion in the door and rearview mirrors willbe reduced.
