Adjusting rearview mirror dimming
Bright light from behind could be reflected in the rearview mirrors and dazzle the driver. Use dimming when disturbed by light from behind.
Manual dimming
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed with a control in the mirror's lower edge.

Control for manual dimming.
Use dimming by moving the control in towards the passenger compartment.
Return to normal mode by moving the control towards the windscreen.
In cars with controls for manual dimming, there is no option for automatic* dimming.
Automatic dimming*
If bright light comes from behind, the rearview mirrors automatically dim when it is dark outside or when the light is limited, for example when driving in tunnels. It is possible to set whether automatic dimming should be active during driving or not via the centre display.
Press
in the centre display.

Press Controls.
Select the desired setting under Mirror auto dimming.
Dimming is adjusted automatically using light sensors in the interior rearview mirror.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with automatic dimming, the interior rearview mirror must also be equipped with automatic dimming.
Note
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in the seats or in the cargo area in such a way that light is prevented from reaching the sensors, then the dimming function of the interior rearview and door mirrors is reduced.
