I have a 2024 Ateca experience and noticed recently that the rear view mirror is permanently dimmed. I’ve had it a year and never noticed it before. There is no manual switch to flick between dimming and I can’t find anything in the manual that is of any help. I searched the forum without success, does anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve it?..

See attached from the manual. Have you seen liquid leak?
Anti-dazzle rear view mirror
It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see
clearly through the rear window.
Rear view mirror with automatic anti-daz-
zle function*
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte flu-
id may leak. This could cause irritation to
the skin, eyes and respiratory organs. If you
come into contact with this liquid, it must
be rinsed with large quantities of water. If
necessary, get medial help.
CAUTION
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte flu-
id may leak. This liquid attacks plastic sur-
faces. Clean it with a wet sponge as soon
as possible.
Note
● If the light incident in the interior rear vi-
sion mirror is obstructed (e.g. with the sun
blind*), the anti-dazzle rear vision mirror
with automatic setting will not operate per-
fectly.
● When the interior lights are on or reverse
gear engaged, the mirrors do not darken
with automatic adjustment for anti-dazzle

Thanks for that, I did notice today that it was reasonably normal viewing, it was a particularly dull day so it may well be working as designed and was previously reacting to particularly bright lighting. I hadn’t noticed it that much before but maybe I was focusing on it more thinking there was a problem.
