Description of the problem | Auto adjusting rear view mirror has no manual override. Sensor is inaccurate and during ambient bright lights in darkness or at dawn or dusk the mirror will not adjust causing significant distraction from headlights of following cars thru the rear view mirror. There is no way to adjust or override this condition. Auto dimming rear view mirrors should come with a manual override function. I have to drive the vehicle in certain situations with the rear view pointed away from my eyesight in order to avoid being blinded. |
