Friday, 19 January, 2024 One safety feature that our staff at Jim Shorkey Toyota recommends looking for when purchasing a new vehicle is auto-dimming rearview mirrors. The glare that many drivers have to deal with is a common safety hazard that, thankfully, can be easily dealt with. Auto-dimming rearview mirrors have the ability to restore your road visibility. They accomplish this via electrochromic technology. How, though, does this happen? The most important element in these mirrors is the sensor. Whenever there is a problematic light beam behind you, your auto-dimming rearview mirrors' sensors will search for any resulting glare. Afterward, you will notice the mirror to darken without any action on your part. If you are concerned about improving your visibility while commuting through the Pittsburgh, PA area, then auto-dimming rearview mirrors can definitely help you.
