What is the function of the switch on the Highlander's rearview mirror?

The switch on the Highlander's rearview mirror is used to toggle the anti-glare function. Pressing the switch can turn the auto-dimming feature on or off. When the indicator light is illuminated, it means the anti-glare function is activated, and the interior rearview mirror will automatically reduce reflection based on the intensity of the headlights from vehicles behind. Currently, there are two types of anti-glare interior rearview mirrors: manual and automatic. Manual anti-glare rearview mirror: This type of mirror uses optical principles to reduce glare. It features a dual-reflectivity mirror. When the driver feels that the reflected light is too strong and dazzling, they can manually adjust the mirror angle by moving the adjustment lever, causing the mirror to tilt. In this position, the mirror's reflectivity decreases, naturally reducing the intensity of the light. Automatic anti-glare rearview mirror: Higher-end models are equipped with automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors. These mirrors have a photosensitive diode installed behind the mirror surface. When the diode detects strong light, the control circuit applies voltage to the ionized layer on the mirror surface. Under the influence of the voltage, the mirror darkens to achieve the anti-glare effect.
