'04 AVALON U (L/O 0408) Auto anti- glare inside rear view mirror In "AUTO" mode, if the mirror detects light from the headlights of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface darkens slightly to reduce the reflected light. When the inside rear view mirror surface darkens the driver's side outside rear view mirror surface also darkens. To turn off the automatic function, press the switch on the "OFF" side. To turn on the automatic function again, press the switch on the "AUTO" side. Adjust it before driving so that the rear view is optimized. When the inside air temperature is low, it may take a little longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of headlights. Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your vehicle in the mirror. This mirror is equipped with auto antiglare function. The function is designed to reduce glare from the headlights of the vehicle behind you during night driving. When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear view mirror always turns on in the "AUTO" mode. The "AUTO" indicator illuminates to show you that the function is on. To ensure correct functioning of an anti- glare mirror sensor located on the back side of the mirror, do not touch or cover the sensor with your finger or a piece of cloth, etc. CAUTION Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving. It may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. 97 2004 AVALON from Aug. '04 Prod. (OM41412U)
