MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will automatically
change from the normal, clear state to the darkened, non-glare state
when bright light (glare) reaches the mirror from behind the vehicle at
night.
Do not block the sensor (1) on the either side of the mirror since this
will impair proper mirror performance (i.e. hangtags, parking stickers,
aftermarket window-tint etc.).
