What is the Proper Adjustment for Rearview Mirrors?
1 Answers
The appropriate method for adjusting rearview mirrors is: 1. Adjust the left rearview mirror: The driver should use the horizon as a reference, adjusting the left and right angles so that the sky and ground each occupy half of the mirror. Then, adjust the vertical angle to make the car body occupy about one-fourth of the mirror's surface. 2. Adjust the right rearview mirror: The ratio of sky to ground in the right rearview mirror should differ, with the sky occupying one-fourth and the ground occupying three-fourths. 3. Adjust the central interior rearview mirror: Lean your head close to the side window you are adjusting, extend the mirror outward until the car body is no longer visible in the mirror, then stop adjusting. The car's rearview mirrors consist of the left exterior mirror, right exterior mirror, and the interior rearview mirror.
