ror.

ways turns on in the automatic function
mode.

may take a little longer for the mirror to
darken in response to the detection of
headlights.

vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.

glare mirror sensors located on both
sides of the mirror, do not touch or
cover the sensors with your finger or
a piece of cloth, etc.
