Electrochromic Mirror

Making it Darker
Prius User-Guide
Increases the volume of the Navigation System's guidance information when going over 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
When you get to a common destination or one that was particularly difficult to find, take advantage
of the "Mark" button on the Multi-Display (only visible when you have the extended menu shown).
That will add it to the "Memory Points" menu. Up to 106 locations can be stored, so take
advantage of this to make future navigation destination selection easier.
There is no training process for all the commands. The voice-recognition is remarkably adept the
way it comes installed, so you can use it immediately.
Some owners have discovered that the automatic dimming mirror doesn't get dark enough for them
at night. The solution to this high-tech problem is a surprisingly low-tech modification. All you
have to do is trick the mirror into thinking it is darker outside by just covering the optical-sensor on
the back with a piece of transparent plastic. That way, less light is detected. The response is a
deeper shade of green, which makes the headlights behind you appear less intense.
This photo shows how the optical-sensor has been covered by a piece of blue transparent plastic,
attached to the mirror using a piece of clear adhesive tape.
