  A Lie pair is an inclusion $A$ to $L$ of Lie algebroids over the same base
manifold. In an earlier work, the third author with Bandiera, Sti\'{e}non, and
Xu introduced a canonical $L_{\leqslant 3}$ algebra $\Gamma(\wedge^\bullet
A^\vee \otimes L/A)$ whose unary bracket is the Chevalley-Eilenberg
differential arising from every Lie pair $(L,A)$. In this note, we prove that
to such a Lie pair there is an associated Lie algebra action by
$\mathrm{Der}(L)$ on the $L_{\leqslant 3}$ algebra $\Gamma(\wedge^\bullet
A^\vee \otimes L/A)$. Here $\mathrm{Der}(L)$ is the space of derivations on the
Lie algebroid $L$, or infinitesimal automorphisms of $L$. The said action gives
rise to a larger scope of gauge equivalences of Maurer-Cartan elements in
$\Gamma(\wedge^\bullet A^\vee \otimes L/A)$, and for this reason we elect to
call the $\mathrm{Der}(L)$-action internal symmetry of $\Gamma(\wedge^\bullet
A^\vee \otimes L/A)$.
