How to Turn On/Off a Manual Anti-Glare Rearview Mirror?
1 Answers
The switch for a manual anti-glare rearview mirror is usually located beneath the mirror, featuring a small lever that can be toggled to activate or deactivate the function. When the vehicle is exposed to intense light from behind, the driver needs to manually operate the mirror to engage the anti-glare feature, which helps mitigate the impact of bright light on the driver's visibility. When not needed, the anti-glare function can be manually turned off to ensure a clear view of the traffic behind. Further details are as follows: 1. The anti-glare functionality of a manual rearview mirror is achieved through its mirror construction, which consists of two surfaces with different reflectivity levels, installed at varying angles. 2. During daytime, the high-reflectivity surface is used to ensure the mirror clearly reflects the rear view. When subjected to strong light from behind, the lever (pushed toward the rear of the vehicle) switches to the low-reflectivity surface, reducing light intensity to prevent glare interference with the driver's vision—this is the secret behind its anti-glare capability.
