How Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirrors Work
The glare from other vehicles' headlights can be blinding, which naturally makes driving around Charlotte dangerous at night. Fortunately, many of the vehicles available at Hendrick MINI come equipped with auto-dimming rearview mirrors that can reduce the glare from headlights and keep you a little safer at night.
Auto-dimming rearview mirrors work by relying on sensors that detect glare from other headlights. When this glare becomes too bright, the sensors in a mirror release a charge through an electrochromic gel located between the layers of glass that make up a mirror.
