The rearview mirror instead has two sensors - one pointing forward and one pointing rear-ward - which work together to identify andeliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensormonitors ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor monitors light from the head-lights of following vehicles. For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto- dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-ped with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade orobjects on the seats or in the cargo com-partment in a way that prevents light fromreaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-tion in the door and rearview mirrors willbe reduced.
