The automatic anti-dazzle function is switched on and off using the switch in the interior mirror A ② or B ②. The indicator lamp A ① or B ① will light up when the automatic anti-dazzle function is switched on.
There are two sensors in the interior mirror housing:

- One sensor on the side facing the windscreen to measure light incidence from the front C ④.
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.
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windscreen or near interior automatic anti-dazzle mirrors .

- Pull the lever to the back to select the anti-dazzle function .
WARNING
- Impairments of the automatic anti-dazzle function may mean that the interior mirror cannot be used to precisely determine the distance from vehicles travelling behind or from other objects.
