Automatic dimming interior rearview mirror

When the ignition is on, the sensors measure the amount of light entering from the rear→ fig. 1 (1) and from the front (2 ).

Depending on the measured values, the interior rearview mirror will dim automatically.

If the amount of light entering the sensors is limited or interrupted, for example by a sunshade or attachment, the automatic dimming interior rearview mirror may not function or may malfunction. Mobile navigation devices on the windshield or near the automatic dimming interior rearview mirror can also affect the sensors → .

Automatic dimming will be deactivated in some situations, for example when reverse gear is engaged.
