Rearview mirror - interior
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed with
a control in the mirror's lower edge. Alternatively,
the rearview mirror dims automatically.
Control for dimming
Manual dimming
Bright light from behind could be reflected in the
rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dim-
ming with the dimming control when lights from
behind are distracting:
1. Use dimming by moving the control in
towards the passenger compartment.
2. Return to normal position by moving the con-
trol towards the windscreen.
Automatic dimming*
Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed
by the rearview mirror. The control for manual
dimming is not available on mirrors with auto-
matic dimming.
The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one
forward facing and one rearward facing - that
work together to identify and eliminate dazzling
light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient
light, while the rearward facing sensor detects
the light from vehicle headlights behind.
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 sen-
sors, then the dimming function of the interior
rearview and door mirrors is reduced.
Only rearview mirror with automatic dimming can
be equipped with compass (p. 110).

Compass*
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mir-
ror contains a display that shows the compass
direction in which the front of the car is pointing.

Eight different directions are shown with English
abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north east), E (east),
SE (south east), S (south), SW (south west), W
(west) and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when the
car is started or when key position II is active, see
Key positions - functions at different levels
(p. 84). To deactivate/activate the compass -
press in the button on the underside of the mirror
using a paper clip for example.
