adjust the view in the mirror.

Outside Mirror — Driver’s Side
Adjust the outside mirror to center on the adjacent lane of
traffic, with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
Right Side Mirror
Adjust the convex outside mirror so you can just see the
side of your vehicle. This type of mirror will give a much
wider view to the rear, and especially of the lane next to
your vehicle.

Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your right
side mirror 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 this
convex mirror.
