Exterior rear view mirrors

WARNING
Exercise care when using the passenger-
side exterior rear view mirror. The mirror
surface is convex (outwardly curved surface
for a wider field of view). Objects in mirror
are closer than they appear. Check your
interior rear view mirror and glance over
your shoulder to determine whether any
vehicles are in the ’blind spot’ of your field
of vision, before changing lanes.
