Adjusting the rearview mirror dimming function
If bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is always active when the engine is running, except when reverse gear is engaged.
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors - one pointing forward and one pointing rearward - which work together to identify and eliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor monitors light from the headlights of following vehicles.
Note
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not be noticeable immediately but will instead take effect after a short period of time.
To change the dimming sensitivity level:
Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
Tap .
Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming, select Normal, Dark or Light.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
Note
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on the seats or parcel shelf in a way that prevents light from reaching the sensors, the auto-dim function in the rearview and door mirrors will be reduced.
