How to use a manual anti-glare rearview mirror: 1. When the vehicle is exposed to strong light from behind, the manual anti-glare rearview mirror requires the driver to manually activate the anti-glare function to block the strong light and prevent it from affecting the driver's vision. 2. When not needed, the anti-glare function can also be manually turned off to clearly observe the traffic conditions behind. Here is some relevant information about anti-glare rearview mirrors: 1. The anti-glare function of a manual anti-glare rearview mirror is achieved through the structure of the mirror. The mirror has two surfaces with different reflectivity, installed at different angles. 2. During the day, the high-reflectivity surface is used to ensure a clear reflection of the rear view. When exposed to strong light from behind, the low-reflectivity surface is engaged (by pulling the lever towards the rear of the car) to reduce the intensity of the light and avoid affecting the driver's vision.
I often drive at night, so let me share how to use the manual anti-glare rearview mirror: There's usually a small lever or knob at the bottom of the interior rearview mirror. When strong light comes from behind, like when a car follows too closely at night, I gently push that lever downward. This slightly tilts the mirror to change the light reflection path, reducing glare without affecting the forward view. Don't apply too much force when flipping it to avoid jamming or damage. After operation, check if you can clearly see the rear vehicle without excessive glare. I recommend testing it once before driving to ensure smooth operation. The manual version is highly reliable but requires manual adjustment. When driving safely, don't get distracted for too long while adjusting - complete it briefly. For maintenance, regular dust cleaning keeps the lever smooth and extends service life, providing a cost-saving alternative to automatic features.
