Interior and Exterior Rearview Mirrors with Automatic Dimming
In this manual: Good to Know
~1min read

Automatic dimming of the exterior rearview mirrors is controlled by two photocells built into the interior rearview mirror. One photocell is located in the mirror frame, see arrow, and the other is on the back of the mirror.
For this function to work properly, do not cover the photocells (including with stickers or decals) and keep them clean.
