Adjusting the exterior mirrors
G WARNING
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side reduces the size of the image. Visible
objects are actually closer than they appear.
This means that you could misjudge the dis-
tance from road users traveling behind, e.g.

For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.
