SOLARA_U Auto anti- glare view mirror inside rear Sun visors- 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 in the best condition. When the outside air temperature is low, it may take little longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of headlights. CAUTION Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your vehicle in the mirror. This 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. 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. 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 personal injuries. To block out glare, move the sun visor. To block out glare from the front-Swing down the sun visor (position 1). To block out glare from the side-Swing down the sun visor, remove it from the hook and swing it to the lateral side (position 2). If glare comes from obliquely behind you, extend the plate at the end of the visor (to position 3 or 4). 71
