moving the small control under the mirror to the night posi-
tion (toward the rear of the vehicle). The mirror should be
adjusted while the small control under the mirror is set in the
day position (toward the windshield).
Adjusting Rearview MirrorOutside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s) to
center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight overlap of
the view obtained on the inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side convex mirrors
could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex mirror.
