If the rearview mirrors are adjusted differently, will the reference points be different?
1 Answers
Adjusting the rearview mirrors differently will indeed result in different reference points. Below are the methods for adjusting rearview mirrors: Center rearview mirror: The center rearview mirror helps drivers quickly assess road conditions behind them and maintain a safe distance from vehicles at the rear. Adjust the center rearview mirror to be parallel with the horizon and positioned at the center of the mirror surface. The mirror should slightly face the driver to ensure a clear view of vehicles directly behind. Left rearview mirror: Since the left rearview mirror is closer to the driver's side, the driver's blind spot is smaller, providing a wider field of view. The adjustment angle is also relatively smaller compared to the right rearview mirror. Similarly, adjust the horizon to the center of the left rearview mirror, while ensuring that one-quarter of the car body is visible in the mirror. If too little of the car body is visible, it becomes difficult to see vehicles close to the rear; if too much of the car body is visible, it may be hard to clearly see vehicles that are partially parallel. Right rearview mirror: Because the blind spot on the right side is larger for the driver, the adjustment angle differs from that of the left rearview mirror. In this case, adjust the horizon to two-thirds of the right rearview mirror, with one-quarter of the car body visible in the mirror.
