The small yellow light on the rearview mirror is part of the Blind Spot Monitoring Warning System. Its function is to illuminate when there is a moving obstacle approaching or moving away from the side or rear of the vehicle, serving as a reminder. It alerts the driver to the presence of vehicles or pedestrians in the blind spot, prompting caution when changing lanes or turning to avoid traffic accidents caused by visual blind spots. Factors determining the field of view of the rearview mirror: The distance between the eyes and the rearview mirror, the effective area of the rearview mirror, the radius of curvature of the rearview mirror, the tilt angle of the rearview mirror relative to the line of sight, and the distance between the rearview mirror and the ground. Solutions for left and right rearview mirror blind spots: Install wide-angle rearview mirrors. These mirrors are attached to the edges of the left and right rearview mirrors and can significantly reduce blind spots, essentially meeting all needs for overtaking and lane changes. It is also important to practice using peripheral vision to observe approaching vehicles or pedestrians. This ensures safe overtaking and lane changes, preventing accidents.
