Ct200h auto dimming working or not?

[Shd995]

Hi i have a cy200h premier which comes with auto dimming for the rear view and wing mirrors. The auto switch is on yet i cannot tell if it is working or not. Usually the colour of the mirror is supposed to turn blueish in normal car with auto dimming if i am not correct. But i cannot see this happening in my car so im not sure if it works at all! Any help?

Do the headlamps of the following cars dazzle you?

I've noticed the auto-dim mirrors in my RC are quite subtle, compared with those in my Mercedes but I'm not dazzled and can actually see rearward quite well.

Cover the headlight sensor and see if the mirror goes blue, and yes, it should go blue/green.

I love this feature in mine. Notice it almost instantly.

Im not too sure to be honest but im not sure if its working when someone does flash me

It doesn't react quickly enough to dim a flash

It won't dim anything that occurs for brief periods of time. You'll only notice it when the headlights come on at night and thats it

The headlight sensor will be on the dashboard - its a round thing near the base of the windscreen.

In the RC (and every other car I've had with auto-dim) the sensors for the auto-dim function are located front and back of the rearv-view mirror. The system operates on a difference in the relative light intensities hitting the sensors. More light falling on the rear facing sensor (something not normally the case as it's facing into the cabin) as in from the following car's headlamps, triggers the dim

To test if the system is working correctly carefully cover the forward facing sensor, the mirrors should dim. Shining a bright lamp into the rear facing sensor sometimes works but it's more difficult to see the effect.
