The auto dimming of our mirror works automatically when you start the engine, then the indicator will light up. The light sensor on the back of the rearview mirror will always detect the ambient light. The auto-dimming mirror doest work in a broad day for the adequate daylight. However, when night falls and the ambient light is weak, the auto-dimming start to work and automatically dims to eliminate the glare of rearward-approaching wechicles. Furthermore, the degree of brightness of the auto-dimming glass depends on the level of the light. The stronger the light from the back of the car is, the darker the glass will be. Hence it protects drivers from becoming dizzy and avoiding car accidents
