Do you know how all the functions offered by your car work? Surely not, because we do not use even 20% of all of them. There is a really useful hidden button.
there are many buttons in it Car dashboardand other places, which we never use. Over time we forget what they are for. And some can be really useful. As the hidden button in your mirror.
Our vision only covers the front part of our body, but when we drive we need to “see” the whole environment, at an angle of 360 degrees.
Most modern cars use cameras, but most vehicles still rely on classic rear view mirrors.
To this day, the mirrors are still essential to be able to drive, since they help us to control the vehicles behindalready see in blind angles that covers the body of the car itself.
According to the law, all cars must be equipped with at least one left and one central mirror. If the latter does not exist, they must carry a mirror on the right side. But most vehicles have all three mirrors.
As our colleague Noelia López tells us in Auto Bild, practically all rear view mirrors have a button or lever at the bottom. Sometimes it’s hard to see because it’s the same color as the mirror frame, or it is hidden in the back:
This button has a very important function, especially at night.
By pressing it, slightly change the angle of the mirror so that the cars that come from behind don’t be dazzled by the light of your headlights.
It is an important function that you should use, because if you look in the mirror and it dazzles you, you may be momentarily blinded, and an accident could occur.
So you know, when drive at night on a road with traffic, press the button on the mirror to avoid glare. It could prevent an accident. But remember to press it again during the day, to return it to its default position.
