When the ignition is switched on, the interior mirror will darken automatically according to the amount of light it receives.
If the light on the sensors is hindered or interrupted, e.g. by a sunblind, the automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror will not function or will not function correctly.
The automatic anti-dazzle function is deactivated when reverse gear is engaged or if an interior or reading light is switched on.
