don't drain that yellow fluid, that's the blinker fluid! the auto button is for auto-pilot but the US government would not allow this on the trucks here so they had to all be disabled before they were imported, I have seen kits on Ebay that will re-enable it though for about $20,000. I am just kidding, dont know what the yellow fluid is (maybe a level?) and the auto button is a mirror adjuster for when cars behind you have there high beams on. Mine does not do anything as the window tint on my back window is to dark to allow high beams to switch it.

that is the secret nitrous button, make sure you are buckled in securely BEFORE you press it.

seriously though.....that is the "auto dim" feature it is supposed to sense lights in your rear view and dim the reflection.......yours probably doesn't work......the fluid you see means that that feature is toast.

The fluid is the "stuff" that makes the mirror dim. Sounds like yours does not work.

A decent serpentine belt costs around $30. How cheap are you looking for?

your mirror is busted. time to buy a new one or find a used one. don't get a belt that is cheaper than $28 you will regret something you find on the internet for $5
