1: The mirrors dim automatically if a car has ON its high beam headlights or its headlights are not correctly adjusted.

2: Co-driver's side mirror is adjusted such as it changes position automatically in order to assist reverse parking, so the pavement is visible by the driver.

3: By unlocking the car, the car lights open for an X desired time. The light sensor triggers the lights only in law light conditions.

4: By locking the car, the car lights open for an Y desired time if the driver activates the process.
