Controls in detail Good visibility Sun visors The sun visors protect you from sun glare while driving. Warning! Warning! G The auto-dimming function does not react if incoming light is not aimed directly at sensors in the interior rear view mirror. The interior rear view mirror and the exterior rear view mirror on the driver's side do not react, for example, if the wind screen is installed. Light hitting the mirror(s) at certain angles (incident light) could blind you. As a result, you may not be able to observe traffic conditions and could cause an accident. G Do not use the driver's-side vanity mirror while driving. Keep the vanity mirrors in the sun visors closed while vehicle is in motion. Reflected glare can endanger you and others. 1 Mounting 2 Vanity mirror cover 3 Vanity mirror lamp 4 Holder for gas cards Glare through the windshield Warning!
