The self-dimming feature can be switched on and off with the switch on the inside mirror (2). When
self-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 self-dimming feature is deactivated when you shift the transmission into Reverse (R) 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 self-dimming inside
mirror ⇒ꢀ
.
WARNING
The illuminated display on an external navigation device can cause the self-dimming inside
mirror to malfunction, which can result in crashes and serious injuries.
ꢀ Malfunctions in the self-dimming function can result in the rearview mirror being unable to
evaluate the exact distance of vehicles in the rear or other objects.
If the light striking the sensor is filtered or blocked (such as by a sunshade), the self-dimming
inside mirror will not work properly or may not work at all.
