Adjusting rearview mirror dimming
Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the interior rearview and door mirrors. Automatic dimming is always active while driving, apart from when gearbox reverse position is selected.
The interior rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing - that work together to identify and eliminate dazzling light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient light, while the rearward facing sensor detects the light from vehicle headlights behind.
Note
When sensitivity is changed there is no immediately noticeable change in dimming, but the change takes place gradually.
To change dimming sensitivity:
Press Settings in the top view in the centre display.
Press .
Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming, select Normal, Dark or Light.
Dimming sensitivity will affect both the interior rearview mirror and the door mirrors.
Note
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in the seats or on the parcel shelf in such a way that light is prevented from reaching the sensors, then the dimming function of the interior rearview and door mirrors is reduced.
