If the presence of light from behind is greater than in the front, the
electronic system feeds current to the conductive lining.
The voltage supplied changes the color of the electrolyte. The
higher the voltage, the darker the electrolyte becomes.
The anti-glare feature is deactivated upon engaging the reverser
gear. This allows use of the internal rearview mirror for maneu‐
vering inside a garage without lighting.

Caution
Never use lubricants to eliminate any kind of noises or lack of

mobility of the safety belt's fastening button.
2.1.5 Guides and latch tab - check

The plastic-coated inverters have thin parallel grooves after a load
stress (belt used in the moment of an accident) is exerted on the
belt's system. (The wearing that results from frequent use is iden‐
tified through plain wearing marks without scratches).
– Check for deformations, cracks or formation of tears in the
plastic.
• When there is the formation of grooves and/or damages, it is
necessary to replace the full safety belt with the fastening.
2.1.6 Components and fastening points -

checking
♦ Deformed fastening strap (elongated).
♦ Height regulation does not work.
♦ Fastening points (seat, support, vehicle's floor) off-center or
with damaged thread.
• If damage is found in the parts, the safety belt should be fully
replaced with its fastening.
• Replace the fastening points.
Note
In the case of damages that are not result of an accident, such as

in case of wearing, it is necessary to replace only the damaged
component.
