We all know that improper adjustment of the car’s rearview mirror will create blind spots and increase driving risks. The ultimate goal of adjustment is to coordinate the three rearview mirrors to minimize the rear blind spot. A car has three rearview mirrors, namely the interior rearview mirror and the exterior rearview mirrors on both sides. The interior rearview mirror is mainly used to observe the situation of the vehicle behind, while the exterior rearview mirror is mainly used to observe the situation of the vehicle behind. Due to the different heights and observation angles that each of us is used to, the refracted images we see in the rearview mirror are also different. Therefore, before driving, you need to adjust the rearview mirror so that you can clearly observe the road conditions behind from the rearview mirror before you can go on the road. This is very important for driving.

First of all, when adjusting the interior rearview mirror, the most important point is to make the rear window glass fully present on the rearview mirror, so as to maximize the rear view and reduce the blind spot. After adjusting the interior rearview mirror, the horizon in the distance should be placed in the midline position, and the image of the right ear is just on the left edge of the mirror. When adjusting the exterior rearview mirror, we can press the left roller button on the steering wheel to choose whether to adjust the left or right rearview mirror. Then use the electric switch or manual adjustment to make the rearview mirror move up, down, left and right. When we adjust the left rearview mirror, we need to tilt our head toward the driver’s side glass (on the glass) until you can just see the rear of your car, so as to avoid repeated coverage of the range of the interior rearview mirror. After adjusting the left rearview mirror, the horizon should be placed in the midline position, the edge of the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror image, and at the same time ensure that there is enough space on the side to observe other vehicles. When adjusting the right rearview mirror, we need to tilt our head to the right in the same way as the left side, until you can just see the rear of your car, so as to avoid repeated coverage of the range of the interior rearview mirror. After adjusting the right rearview mirror, the horizon should be placed at the 2/3 position, the edge of the car body should occupy 1/4 of the mirror image, and at the same time ensure that there is enough space on the side to observe other vehicles.

After the above adjustments, when a car passes you, you can see it in the rearview mirror first, and clearly know the road conditions behind, which can effectively improve driving safety. Of course, adjusting the rearview mirror does not mean that you can completely rely on it. During driving, we also need to pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment at any time, whether there are other hidden obstacles or pedestrians, so as to ensure safe driving. In addition, before adjusting the rearview mirror, you should first adjust the position of the steering wheel and seat.
