Mirror

a long distance away, the image
in the main mirror is small and
near the inboard edge of the
mirror.

larger and moves outboard.

the main mirror to the blind spot
mirror.
4. When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in
the blind spot mirror.
Using the Outside Mirror with
the Blind Spot Mirror
1. Set the main mirror so that theside of the vehicle can just be
seen and the blind spot mirror
has an unobstructed view.
2. When checking for traffic or before changing a lane, look at
the main driver/passenger side
mirror to observe traffic in the
adjacent lane, behind your
vehicle. Check the blind spot
mirror for a vehicle in the blind zone. Then, glance over your
shoulder to double check before

position when:
.
The vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), or remains in
R (Reverse) for about 30 seconds.
. The ignition is turned off.

R (Reverse) above a set speed.
