What is the function of the switch on the Audi TT rearview mirror?

The switch on the Audi TT rearview mirror is an auto-dimming switch. When the ignition is on, it can automatically adjust the anti-glare state of the interior rearview mirror based on the intensity of incoming light detected by the sensor. At night, when strong light is detected, the photosensitive element controls the material to darken automatically, changing the reflectivity to achieve anti-glare effect. The Audi TT is a sports car developed by Audi, with body dimensions of 4178mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1352mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2468mm. In terms of appearance, when viewed from the side, the Audi TT appears as if it gradually "expands" outward from the wheels, featuring identical designs at the front and rear, which shares similarities with the Porsche Boxster.
As an Audi enthusiast who frequently modifies cars, I must say the TT's mirror switch is quite feature-packed. The two arrow buttons on the left control the left/right mirror angles—make sure to select the correct L/R position when adjusting, or you'll be wasting your effort. The dot-marked heating/defogging function is especially useful in winter; just press it during rain or snow, and the mirrors will be clear in three to five minutes. The most practical feature is the folding button at the bottom right—press it in narrow alleys, and the mirrors will click and fold in to avoid scratches. Here's a small tip: never force the mirrors open when they're folded during car washes—a friend of mine once damaged the gear mechanism. I recommend putting a bright sticker on the heating and folding functions; beginners tend to forget about them.
