Rear View Mirrors - Chevrolet Impala 1969 Owner's Manual

6. General Motors recommends that
children be restrained when riding.
However, if conditions require that
a child must stand, he should stand
on the floor directly behind the front
seat. This will minimize the possi-
bility of his being thrown from the
rear compartment during a sudden
stop. This method should be used
only if more complete restraint can-
not be used.
Rear View Mirrors
It is not intended that rearview
mirrors be used for backing up, or for
surveillance of conditions close to the
rear of the car. It is suggested that the
driver turn his head and look to the
rear for backing operations.
The inside day-night rearview mir-
ror incorporates a triple-jointed
mounting so the driver can position
the mirror vertically and horizontally
to suit his driving needs. It is only
necessary to exert enough pressure to
Overcome the frictIon load at the three
joints in order to adjust the mirror to
any position within the physical limits
of its travel.
Good Driving Practice: A good driver
always scans the area to the .rear
BEFORE
entering the vehicle and
backing up, and makes a habit of using
his. rearview mirrors while driving, so
as to be aware of the rearward aspect
of his total driving environment.
