Auto Anti-Glare rear view mirror


Recommended Posts

Just a quick question, it;s something that pops out at me after  having got  my car back after accident repair yesterday ( rear/ side etc..)

I have always taken this feature for granted as it is a feature presumably on all trim levels. ?

Anyway yesterday, whilst driving back home, i seem to be dazzled by cars in my rear with their headlights, hitting the auto button on/off does not seem to make any difference. Bers in mind I havent driven my car for 5 days. Am i being paranoid or is there something wrong ?  btw, the outside side mirrors also seem to dazzle me too when cars are in the right position behind and to the right/left of me,

Is the Anti-glare only on the inside rear view mirror only, and is there something wrong with my car  considering what i have described above ?

you can test the auto dimming feature

have your ignition on

cover the sensor on the rear of mirror( facing the windscreen)

shine a torch at the mirror and you should see the mirror dim

after a few seconds the dimming should be quiet noticable.

Many thanks..

Was a very good test.. didn't have to cover as it's pitch dark outside 🙂

There was a clear difference when on vs off...  so it was just me being paranoid.. i must have mixed up my differences between  brightness  and glare..

Thanks for that quick simple test...
