During nighttime driving, if a difference in intensity exists between the surrounding light and the light reflected off the inside mirror, the auto-dimming feature automatically reduces the reflection rate of the inside mirror to dampen the glare and improve the driver's rear view. The Highlander inside mirror also features a compass display in the upper right-hand corner of mirror. The automatic-dimming inside mirror relieves drivers from enduring the full glare of headlights from vehicles behind them through the use of two sensors attached to the mirror: a forward-facing light detection sensor- which detects the lighting conditions surrounding the vehicle. and the rear light detection sensor- which detects the light that strikes the inside mirror from behind the vehicle. During nighttime driving- if a difference in intensity exists between the surrounding light and the light reflected off the inside mirror- the auto-dimming feature automatically reduces the reflection rate of the inside mirror to dampen the glare and improve the drivers rear view.
