2026 SEALION 5 interior mirror: separate Premium auto-dimming from Essential manual anti-dazzle

If an interior mirror seems wrong at night, asking only for “the same mirror” may mix two anti-dazzle types. The Australian 2026 SEALION 5 factory specification distinguishes Essential manual anti-dazzle from Premium auto-dimming. Specify trim and anti-dazzle type rather than relying on glass shape alone.

The two interior mirrors belong to different columns

The technical table assigns Manual anti-dazzling interior mirrors to Essential and Auto-dimming interior mirror to Premium.[T11] This concerns the interior mirror, rather than exterior-mirror heating, folding or reverse tilt. The purchase request should explicitly say “interior mirror”.

At vehicle reception, record visible glass damage, completeness of operating parts and the specific circumstances of the owner's concern. The equipment table provides no auto-dimming activation conditions, dimming extent or response time. A single observation cannot establish failed glass or controls. [To be verified]

Similar appearance does not establish an interchangeable upgrade

The original material does not detail housing interfaces, internal structure or bracket supply relationships, and provides no upgrade plan from manual to automatic anti-dazzle. If replacement is needed, identify the object through inspection, then verify the original type. Matching dimensions, model name or mounting appearance alone cannot support an interchangeability promise. [To be verified]

Scope and verification

This article covers only Australia; MY26; BYD SEALION 5; Essential DM-i and Premium DM-i. [Model-year and trim reference][T11] Factory equipment identifies functions and parts only; it is not a fault or replacement criterion.

No public data was available in the reviewed material for OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability or compatibility and interchangeability. [To be verified] Verify compatibility or interchangeability using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and local Australian manufacturer parts catalogue.
