increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the
mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for estimating distances
to the following vehicles.

Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the distances
to the following vehicles.

Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.
