Warning
G
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects therefore appear further
away than they really are. You could
therefore cause an accident if you only
observe traffic in the exterior mirrors.
For this reason, you should pay attention
to traffic behind you by also using the
main exterior mirror and, if necessary, the
rear-view mirror, especially while maneu-
vering or overtaking.
