What Causes the Car's Rearview Mirror to Fail to Retract Automatically?
1 Answers
Car rearview mirrors may fail to retract automatically due to the owner manually folding them, which can disable the automatic retraction function, or it could be caused by a disconnected or dead battery. Below is relevant information about car rearview mirrors: 1. Working Principle: Rearview mirrors have a field of view issue, referring to the range that the mirror surface can reflect. The industry mentions three elements of the field of view: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror; the size of the rearview mirror; and the radius of curvature of the rearview mirror. 2. Design Points: The aspects include the obtainable field of view (indirect vision), image distortion, image clarity, image size, and the position of the image in the rearview mirror, making it easy to adjust according to changes in the driver's viewpoint. 3. Classification: They can be divided into three main series: flat mirrors, spherical mirrors, and double-curvature mirrors. There is also another type called the prism mirror, which has a flat surface but a prism-shaped cross-section, commonly used as an anti-glare interior rearview mirror.
