How to Use Rearview Mirrors to Determine if the Car is Aligned Properly?
1 Answers
Car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the front of the car, as well as inside the front of the vehicle. You can use the rearview mirrors to determine if the car is aligned properly by following these 3 methods: 1. At a red light: When the car comes to a complete stop at a red light, observe the left rearview mirror to see if the car body is parallel to the road dividing line (yellow or white line). If they are parallel, the car is aligned properly; 2. Parking by the roadside: After the car is parked, observe the rearview mirror closest to the roadside to see if the car body is parallel to the curb. If they are parallel, the car is aligned properly; 3. Enclosed garage: After parking the car in an enclosed garage, which usually has limited space with walls on both sides, check if the extension lines on both sides form equal angles with the horizontal line of the garage door. If the angles are the same, the car is aligned properly.
