When night mode is switched on, the mirror slightly changes its angle. This small shift “softens the reflection of intense lights shining from the rear,” making the glare dimmer and more comfortable. With less distraction from high beams, drivers can stay focused on the road.
Night driving already strains the eyes, and bright reflections can cause discomfort or make it harder to adjust to darker surroundings. Using the anti-glare setting helps maintain clearer vision, making it easier to follow traffic and notice road changes or hazards early.
This feature works even better when combined with simple habits. Clean mirrors and windows reduce scattered light, keeping reflections sharp. And when headlights are correctly aligned on all vehicles, driving at night becomes safer for everyone.
A big advantage of the mirror’s night mode is how easy it is to use. As the article notes, “the driver can activate it instantly,” and the slight flip of the switch can noticeably improve nighttime clarity and comfort.
By making this a routine during evening drives, drivers reduce eye strain and fatigue. The result is better awareness, a calmer experience, and improved safety—proof that even small car features can make a meaningful difference.
