Automatic functions
>Both exterior mirrors are automatically
heated when the engine is running or the
ignition is switched on.
>When the vehicle is moving forward, the
interior and exterior mirrors dim as a func-
tion of the incoming light.
The interior mirror is provided with two photo-
cells to control its automatic dimming function.
One is integrated into the mirror glass, refer to
arrow, while the other is located at a position
slightly offset from this on the back of the mirror
housing.
For trouble-free operation, keep the photocells
clean and do not cover the area between the
interior rearview mirror and the windshield. Also
do not attach stickers to the windshield in front
of the mirror.
