With the key in steering lock position 2, the driver’s
side mirror reflection brightness responds to changes in
light sensitivity.
With gear selector lever (manual transmission: gearshift
lever) in position “R”, or with the interior lamp switched
on, the driver’s side mirror brightness does not respond
to changes in light sensitivity.
Important!
Electrolyte drops coming into contact with the vehicle
paint finish can only be completely removed while in
their liquid state, by applying plenty of water.
Warning!
In the case of an accident liquid electrolyte may
escape the mirror housing when the mirror glass
breaks.
Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not allow the
liquid come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing,
or respiratory system. In cases it does, immediately
flush affected area with water, and seek medical
help if necessary.
