Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Owner's Manual: Mirrors

Manual anti-glare rearview mirror

Nissan Sentra manual anti-glare rearview mirror

Use the night position 1 to reduce glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you when driving at night.

Select the day position 2 for normal visibility during daylight driving conditions.

WARNING

Use the night position only when necessary, as it reduces rearward visibility.

Automatic anti-glare rearview mirror

Nissan Sentra automatic anti-glare rearview mirror

The automatic rearview mirror is designed to dim automatically at night in response to the intensity of headlights from vehicles behind you. This function activates when the ignition switch of the Nissan Sentra is in the ON position.

NOTE:

Do not hang objects over the sensors 1 or apply glass cleaner directly to the sensor area.

Such actions may reduce sensor sensitivity and cause improper operation of the automatic anti-glare feature.

Outside mirrors

Nissan Sentra outside mirror adjustment controls

The outside mirror remote control functions only when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

Move the small selector switch 1 to choose the right or left mirror, then adjust the mirror using the larger control switch 2.

Return the selector switch to the center (neutral) position to prevent unintentional mirror movement.

WARNING

  • Objects seen in the passenger-side outside mirror are closer than they appear. Exercise caution when changing lanes to the right. Relying solely on this mirror may cause an accident. Use the inside rearview mirror and check over your shoulder to judge distances accurately.
  • Do not adjust mirrors while driving, as this may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
