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

larger and moves outboard.
3. As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from
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

shoulder to double check before
moving slowly into the
adjacent lane.

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