How to properly adjust mirrors in the vehicle for the highest possible review - the question is relevant to most car owners, especially for beginners. After all, it is not so easy - it is necessary to know the method of adjustment, which we will tell in this article.

Types of car mirrors

There are three types of automotive mirrors:

• Left side.
• Right side.
• Rearview mirror.

How to find out that the mirror is adjusted incorrectly

If you, looking at the car's side mirror, see the rear wing of your car, it means that this mirror is adjusted incorrectly.

With this location, most of the zone behind the vehicle is viewed in the rearview mirror, and in the side mirrors, but the zone next to the machine is visible very bad, resulting in the risk of emergency creation.

Left side mirror how to adjust your own hands

Return to the left in such a way as to actually touch the side window. Adjust the mirror so that the rear wing of the vehicle is viewed (as in the picture). After you get used in your chair, in the mirror will actually not be seen the side wing of your car.

Right side mirror, regulations of adjustment with your own hands

District to the right in such a way that your head is located in the center of the vehicle. Adjust the mirror so that you see the rear wing of the machine (see picture).

Remember that turning your head back or look in the mirrors only when you are convinced that the situation ahead is safe and will not change over the next seconds. Remember, when driving, you can only take a look for a second, but not more.

Rear View Mirror, Regulation Rules

The mirror in the cabin is intended to review the situation on the road not only from behind, but from the side, and is also considered a component of a car that is responsible for safety. If the rear view mirror is adjusted correctly, its central point must match the rear window center.

Test drive after adjusting the mirrors

To check whether all the mirrors are correctly configured, ask someone to just get around the car (two meters away). In this case, the driver must follow the movements of the helper with the help of mirrors. If the reflection of the helper was lost in any side mirror, but immediately appeared in the salon (and on the contrary), then all the settings are made correctly.

Riding with mirrors adjusted in the indicated way, you will see that "blind zones" has become much smaller. You see the car in the rearview mirror, and when it starts to overtake you, it will still be seen in the rear mirror, and another part in the side. As a result, you are much easier to rebuild into another row, and the risk of emergency is significantly reduced.

To combat "blind zones", professionals are recommended to look into the mirror, leaning a little toward the steering wheel, thereby increasing the angle of the review.

Useful tips for adjusting the mirror

• First you can be very unusual to ride with mirrors thus configured. However, wait a while and you will get used to so that you will not understand how you used to go differently.
• Be careful during parallel parking. With this setting, the mirrors you need to deviate more and turn your head to see and the car is near, and side of your car.
• Constantly look in the mirror, and not only when you want to restructure. Such a manner will give you the opportunity all the time to be aware of the road atmosphere and correctly perform sharp unforeseen maneuvers (for example, when the pit flows).
• Do not regulate mirrors during the ride.
• Even in correctly tuned mirrors there are "dead zones". And sometimes it is better to throw a look over the shoulder during the maneuver, so as not to knock, for example, a motorcyclist or a cyclist. The look over the shoulder will give you the required information that you never get, even looking into the correctly configured mirrors.
