[CAUTION] A convex mirror has a curved surface and is designed to provide a
wide view with minimum distortion. However, persons or objects seen in a con-
vex mirror will look smaller and appear farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror or viewed directly. Therefore, use care when judging the size or distance
of a person or object seen in a convex mirror. Wait until you can view the person
or object directly or in a flat mirror to determine his/her size and distance.
Proper adjustment is necessary for any mirror system to perform as designed. The
following adjustment sequence should be used to allow the driver to obtain the
maximum viewing area with the mirror system.
1. Adjust the driver’s seat to the desired position.
2. Adjust the right-side flat driving mirror so that the tops of the side windows
are visible in the upper edge of the mirror, and so that the right side of the
bus body is visible in the inside edge of the right-side flat mirror.
3. Adjust the right-side convex driving mirror so that the view in the top of the
convex mirror overlaps the view provided by the right-side flat driving mir-
ror, and so that the right side of the bus body is visible in the inside edge of
the right-side convex mirror.
4. Adjust the left-side flat driving mirror and the left-side convex driving mirror
following the same procedures described for the right-side mirrors. Refer to
Steps 2 and 3 above.
5. Adjust the elliptical crossview mirrors by positioning each mirror head so
that the center of its field of view is pointed directly at the eyes of the seated
driver.
6. Make a final adjustment to the mirror system so that the seated driver can
view the areas required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111, includ-
ing the entire top surface of cylinders M and N when located as illustrated on
the following page, and rearward a minimum of 200 feet (measured from
the mirror surface) using the outside rearview driving mirrors. The elliptical
crossview mirrors should be adjusted to provide the seated driver a view of
the entire surface of any cylinder A thru P (when located as illustrated) not
visible by direct view of the driver. The view provided by the elliptical cross-
view mirrors must overlap the view provided by the outside rearview driving
mirror system.
