•
Curved (i.e . convex) mirror surfaces increase your field of view .
Remember that vehicles or other objects will appear smaller and
farther away than when seen in a flat mir ro r. If you use this mirror to
estimate distances of following vehicles when changing lanes, you
could estimate incor rectl y and caus e an accident .
• If
the mirror housing is moved unintentionally
(for examp le, while
parking you r veh icle), then you must first fold the mirror elect rically.
Do not readjust the mirror housing manually. You could damage the
motor w hich cont ro ls the mirror.
