Windows, glass and mirrors -> Adjusting the rearview mirror dimming function for your Volvo XC60 2017-2026
WINDOWS, GLASS AND MIRRORS
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors -
one pointing forward and one pointing rear-
ward - which work together to identify and
eliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensor
monitors ambient light, while the rearward-
pointing sensor monitors light from the head-
lights of following vehicles.

Adjusting the door mirrors
To improve visibility to the rear, the door mir-
rors need to be adjusted to the driver's height
and seating position. There are several auto-
matic settings that can also be connected to
the memory function buttons for the power
seat*.
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind,
e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles,
could reflect in the rearview mirror and door
mirrors and cause a glare. Use the dimming
function when light from behind is distract-
ing.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-
ped with auto-dim.
Controls used for door mirrors
Auto-dim
If bright light enters the vehicle from behind,
the door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-
dim is always active when the engine is run-
ning, except when reverse gear is engaged.
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a
parking permit, transponder, sunshade or
objects on the seats or in the cargo com-
partment in a way that prevents light from
reaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-
tion in the door and rearview mirrors will
be reduced.
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not
be noticeable immediately but will instead
take effect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect
both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
