Subaru Outback (BR): Photosensors

The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the front and back sides. During
nighttime driving, these sensors detect distracting glare from vehicle headlights
behind you and automatically dim the mirror to eliminate glare and preserve your
vision. For this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other
similar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton
cloth or an applicator.
