Subaru Outback (BR): Auto-dimming mirror with compass (if equipped)

1) LED
2) Switch
3) Sensor
4) Compass display
The auto-dimming mirror has an anti-glare feature which automatically reduces
glare coming from headlights of vehicles behind you. It also contains a built-in
compass.
● By pressing and holding the switch for less than 3 seconds, the automatic dimming
function is toggled on or off. When the automatic dimming function is on, the LED
indicator will illuminate. Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode, the mirror surface
turns bright if the transmission is shifted into reverse. This is to ensure good
reward visibility during reversing.
● By pressing and releasing the switch for 3 seconds, the compass display is
toggled on or off. When the compass is on, an illuminated compass reading will appear
in the upper right corner of the mirror.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with
glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause
the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing and damage the mirror.
