Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside

seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.

back window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will
quickly clear the surface. (See Back
