AUTO -DiMMi Ng Mi RROR S AND HOME LiNK®
•
Auto-Dimming automatically
darkens your rear view
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, otherwise, 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.
