parking space, the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in

The mirror goes back into its original position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.

enlarge the field of vision. However, they
make objects in the mirror appear smaller
and farther away. You may estimate incor-

when changing lanes, which increases the risk
of an accident.
