tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the

the headlight glare from vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in

tion whenever the ignition switch is

tion off. The mirror indicator light
