WARNING
Be sure to look over your shoulder

vehicle in the convex mirror is
dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
NOTE
(Driver's Side Wide Angle Mirror*)
xThe wide angle mirror has 2
curvatures on its surface separated by
a region line into outer and inner
regions. The inner region is a
standard convex mirror whereas the
outer region allows for a wider range
of visibility within the same sweep.
This combination allows for better
assurance when making lane
changes.

the outer and inner regions of the
