Auto-dipping mirrors

[Halcyon Days]

This is probably in the manual, but I don't have it with me right now...:fail

The rear view mirror and the driver's side mirror both dip / dim, but the passenger side one doesn't? Is this correct / expected?
If it should dip / dim and isn't, what's the most likely cause?

Many thanks

Yes. It doesn't auto dim as standard

Cheers Olly, I noticed the same thing on our S203 the other day and was wondering!

I think you can retro fit it.

I think you can retro fit it.

Intrigued! Would it be much of a job?

Don't know how difficult but expensive if the cost of a drivers mirror is anything to go by. About £300 I think just for the mirror.

Can I please confirm if this is the case for a S211 E280Cdi AG also?
Have returned to the Merc fold after many years with BMW and find it bizarre that the passenger mirror is not photochromic...

Passenger side door mirrors do not auto-dim as standard on any model AFAIK
