Why is my rearview mirror dimming?
The auto-dimming rear view mirror offers greater safety when driving at night, as it stops you from being dazzled by traffic travelling behind. It consists of a mirror element and an electronic system that detects light from in front and behind by means of photo sensors.
How do auto dimming side mirrors work?
The mirror itself darkens when a light source hits it, thanks to electrochromism (which is why auto-dimming mirrors are also called electrochromic mirrors). An electrochromic material changes colour when charged by an electrical current. Send voltage through it, and it darkens. Remove the voltage, and it lightens.
What is the switch on my rear view mirror for?
If you have a manual rearview mirror, there’s a switch or tab at the bottom. Changing the switch’s position changes the way the mirror works. Flip it one way and you’re in daytime driving mode, with everything crisp and clear. Flip it the other way, and it changes to nighttime driving mode.
