124 Interior equipment and trunk Rearview mirror with auto dimming function The interior rearview mirror has two sensors, one forward-facing and one rear-facing. The system is activated when the forward-facing sensor detects that it is dark outside and the rear-facing sensor detects, for example, if the car following has not dimmed its headlights. The rearview mirror is then darkened to prevent the strong light source from dazzling the driver. This darkening is stepless. The mirror returns to its normal state when the strong light source diminishes. The auto dimming function can be turned OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the rear-view mirror. NOTE Towing a trailer can cause the system to malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may sense light from the trailer. 3 2 1 1 Forward-facing sensor 2 ON/OFF switch, auto dimming function 3 Rear-facing sensor IB1284 Button for angling passenger's mirror down on reversing Cars equipped with a programmable driver's seat also have the ability to angle the passenger's mirror down when reversing, e.g. for a better view of the curb.
