Outside Mirrors

To receive maximum benefit, adjust the out-
side mirror(s) to center on the adjacent lane
of traffic and a slight overlap of the view
obtained from the inside mirror.
NOTE:
The passenger side convex outside mirror will
give a much wider view to the rear, and
especially of the lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
passenger side convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they really
are. Relying too much on your passenger
side convex mirror could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other ob-
ject. Use your inside mirror when judging
the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the
passenger side convex mirror.
