Adjusting the rearview mirror dimming function
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors – one pointing forward and one pointing rearward – which work together to identify and eliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor monitors light from the headlights of following vehicles.
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not be noticeable immediately but will instead take effect after a short period of time.
To change the dimming sensitivity level:
- Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
- Tap My Car Mirrors and Convenience.
- Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming, select Normal, Darkor Light.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on the seats or parcel shelf in a way that prevents light from reaching the sensors, the auto-dim function in the rearview and door mirrors will be reduced.
Automatically activating and deactivating the heated rear window and door mirrors
It is possible to select whether rear window and door mirror heating should be automatically activated or deactivated when the engine is started. With automatic start activated, heating will be activated when there is a risk of ice or condensation on the windows or mirrors. Heating is automatically switched off when the window or door mirror is sufficiently warm and the condensation or ice is gone.
- Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
- Tap Climate.
- Select Auto Rear Defroster to activate/deactivate automatic rear window and door heating.
