What is the optimal position for adjusting car rearview mirrors?
1 Answers
The correct positions for adjusting car rearview mirrors are as follows: 1. 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 mirror to be parallel with the horizon line, positioning the horizon at the center 1/2 point of the mirror surface. The mirror should slightly face the driver to ensure clear visibility of vehicles directly behind. 2. Left side mirror: Since the left mirror is closer to the driver's side, the blind spot is smaller and the field of view wider, requiring less adjustment than the right mirror. Similarly, adjust the horizon to the center 1/2 position of the left mirror while keeping 1/4 of the car body visible in the mirror. Showing too little of the car body makes it hard to see vehicles close to the rear; showing too much makes it difficult to clearly see vehicles that are partially parallel. 3. Right side mirror: Being on the right side, the driver's blind spot is larger, requiring different adjustment angles than the left mirror. Here, adjust the horizon to the 2/3 position of the right mirror while maintaining 1/4 of the car body visible.
