Rear View Mirrors - Interior

Component Description

Interior Rear View Mirror - Auto- Dimming

The auto-dimming rear view mirror has 2 photoelectric sensors, forward facing and rearward facing, that detect forward and rearward light conditions. Based on inputs from these sensors, the automatic dimming feature adjusts the reflectance level of the interior rear view mirror glass to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror.
