Interior rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim
function that helps reduce glare from following
vehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim function
The interior rearview mirror’s auto-dim function is
controlled by two sensors: one pointing forward
(located on the forward-facing side of the mirror,
which monitors the amount of ambient light) and
one pointing rearward (located on the side of the
mirror facing the driver at the upper edge, which
senses the strength of following vehicles' head-
lights), and work together to help eliminate glare.

NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g.,
parking stickers, transponders, etc., or the rear
sensor by loading the cargo area or the rear
seat in such a way that light is prevented from
reaching the sensor will reduce the auto-dim
function in the interior rearview mirror and
optional auto-dim function in the door mirrors.
