If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending on
the light striking the mirror from the rear. The mirror has no lever on the bottom edge
of the mirror. When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged,
the mirror always moves back into the basic position.
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for the rear
window in the housing on the luggage compartment cover is not in use or the light
striking the interior rear-view mirror is not affected by other objects.
Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair the
automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.
If you switch off the automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, also the exterior
mirror dimming is switched off.
Exterior mirror

The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +20 °C.
It is only possible to fold in both exterior mirrors when the ignition is switched on and
at a speed of up to 15 km/h.
