Curv ed mirrors (convex or aspheric) en-
large the field of vision and can make
objects in the mirror seem smaller and
further away than they actually are.
x Using curved mirrors to estimate the
distance from other vehicles behind you
when changing lanes can provide inac-

ror to check the exact distance between
your vehicle and following traffic or oth-
er objects.

cient supply of fresh air and get out of
the vehicle. If this is not possible, open
all of the windows and doors.
x If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes
or onto the skin, immediately wash the
area with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes and consult a doctor.
x If the electrolyte fluid gets onto shoes or
clothing, wash immediately with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes. Clean
shoes and clothes thoroughly before
wearing them again.
