What is the optimal position for adjusting rearview mirrors?
2 Answers
Adjusting car rearview mirrors to the proper position involves: 1. For the right-side mirror, the upper and lower positions should occupy two-thirds of the mirror surface. 2. The left-side mirror should be adjusted so that the distant horizon is centered, with the left and right positions set so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the mirror surface. 3. The center rearview mirror should be adjusted so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of the driver's image in the mirror. Introduction to car rearview mirrors: 1. Car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the car's front and at the front of the car's interior, serving as important safety components. 2. The function of car rearview mirrors is to allow the driver to clearly see the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car, thereby expanding the driver's field of vision.
I've been thinking about adjusting the rearview mirrors for quite some time, and the key is to eliminate blind spots while maintaining comfort. When you get into the driver's seat, first adjust the seat to your usual position before touching the mirrors. For the left side mirror, position the horizon slightly above the center, with just a quarter of your car's body visible—this way, you can see both the rear lane and your car's position. Pay special attention to the right side mirror: only show one-fifth of your car's body, but place the horizon lower to better observe the curb and parking lines. The interior center mirror should provide a full view of the rear windshield, allowing you to see the entire rear view with a slight tilt of your head. After adjusting, test it by changing lanes—watch the movement of cars behind you in the mirrors, then turn your head to check the side windows to ensure no blind spots. Remember, every new driver should readjust, as differences in height and seating position affect the viewing angle.
