ing wheel and mirror and fasten your seat belt before starting the engine.
GWARNING
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side reduces the size of the image. Visible
objects are actually closer than they appear.

dent.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.
