Genuine Toyota Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirrors: Help Reduce Accident-Causing Glare

Headlight glare in your rearview mirror from approaching vehicles can be blinding. End the frustration of enduring glare during nighttime driving with a Genuine Toyota auto-dimming rearview mirror. This value-added accessory provides automatic progressive dimming of your rearview mirror, reducing the glare caused by headlights of approaching vehicles, which helps to improve safety by reducing eyestrain and decreasing driver fatigue.

In addition to helping to reduce headlight glare, some Genuine Toyota auto-dimming rearview mirrors come integrated with valuable features such as LED (light-emitting diode) console lighting, a compass display, or a HomeLink^® [20] universal transceiver, depending upon vehicle application.

Genuine Toyota auto-dimming rearview mirrors help reduce rearview mirror glare by darkening in proportion to the amount of glare detected from rearward-approaching vehicle headlamps. Sophisticated light sensors (forward- and rear-facing) in the mirror continually search for glare. The sensors are monitored by a microprocessor, which sends an electrical current through the mirror's special darkening gel according to the amount of glare detected. The brighter the glare, the greater the current and the darker the mirror becomes—thus helping to reduce glare and preserve driver vision. The mirror clears as the glare subsides. If desired, drivers can manually deselect the auto-dimming function on their rearview mirror by pushing a switch located on the mirror.

Installation of a Genuine Toyota auto-dimming rearview mirror is quick and easy and generally takes about 30 minutes to complete. The mirror typically requires two connections, including a 12-volt ignition source and a ground. Once the mirror is installed, it offers the fit and finish of a factory product.

Genuine Toyota auto-dimming rearview mirrors provide you with a refined, integrated appearance, and you can be sure they meet Toyota’s high-quality design standards. In comparison, aftermarket mirrors may be bulky and conflict with your vehicle's interior styling. Best of all, Genuine Toyota auto-dimming rearview mirrors are backed by Toyota's 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, valid at any Toyota dealership nationwide.
