Adjusting Rearview Mirrors: Should You Align with Front or Rear Door Handles?

[CaliLynn]

For household vehicles, which are primarily sedans, SUVs, and MPVs, rearview mirror adjustment is often based on door handles, especially the rear door handles. Here are the relevant details: 1. Adjustment Principle: The principle of rearview mirror adjustment is to provide the driver with the farthest and widest possible road condition information through mirror reflection. While ensuring visibility of distant objects, the rearview mirror should also prioritize coverage of the road surface. 2. Key Considerations: Under the condition of ensuring the widest field of view, the rearview mirror should be extended outward to the point where only the inner edge of the rear wheel arch appears in the mirror. This provides valuable information for mastering the trajectory when reversing and the distance between the vehicle and nearby obstacles.
