Things to Know About Your Car’s Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirrors

Here at Mangino Chevrolet we believe it is important for drivers to be informed. Your car may be equipped with auto-dimming rearview mirrors that are designed to reduce glare. Knowing more about how this feature works and how glare can affect safe driving is beneficial to all car owners.

Auto-dimming mirrors are also referred to as electrochromic. The technology behind these mirrors was designed to combat something known as the Troxler Effect. When a car is behind you at night the headlights you observe in your car’s mirrors can be blinding. The blinding can even persist after the car behind you turns. An auto-dimming rearview mirror can darken when it senses glare in order to protect you from blinding light.

We invite you down to our dealership in Amsterdam, NY where you can take a test drive today. We can also help you learn more about auto-dimming rearview mirrors and how they work to keep you safe.
