AUTO -DIMMIN g MIRRORS AND hOME LINK®

Auto-dimming automatically
darkens your rearview
mirror and both outside
door mirrors to reduce
headlight glare from the
vehicles behind you.
• Auto-dimming is activated
every time the vehicle
is started.
NOTE:


Both door mirrors will appear to have a halo, or ring, around the outer edge of
the mirror surface. This is actually the electrical circuitry that allows the mirrors
to dim. This is normal operation of the mirrors.

• In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s front light sensor, there is also a
rear light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the front
or rear mirror light sensors; other wise, the auto-dimming mirrors will not
operate properly.
homeLink®

This feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete programming details.

you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning

warning light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning
light flash.
