Adjust the inside mirror to make sure that there is good visibility  
through the rear window.  
For example, visibility through the rear window could be impaired if  
there is a sunshade on the rear window or clothing on the luggage  
compartment cover, or if the rear window is covered with ice, snow, or  
dirt.

Auto-dimming inside mirror (if applicable)  
Key to fig. 98:  
(1) Indicator light  
(2) Switch  
(3) Sensor for recognizing entry of light  
The auto-dimming feature can be switched on and off with the switch  
on the inside mirror (2) A or (2) B. When auto-dimming is activated,  
the indicator light (1) is on.  
If the ignition is switched on, the sensor (3) automatically darkens the  
inside mirror depending on the amount of light shining into the vehicle  
from the rear.  
The auto-dimming feature is deactivated when you shift the transmis-  
sion into reverse or switch on the interior lights or the reading light.  
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windshield or in the  
vicinity of the auto-dimming inside mirror ꢀ  
.
WARNING  
The illuminated display on an external navigation device can  
cause the auto-dimming inside mirror to malfunction, which  
can result in crashes and serious injuries.  
Malfunctions in the auto-dimming function can result in the  
inside mirror being unable to evaluate the exact distance of ve-  
hicles in the rear or other objects.  
If the light striking the sensor is filtered or blocked (such as by a  
sunshade), the auto-dimming inside mirror will not work properly or  
may not work at all.
