Here are the unexpected famous details to edit
How do I adjust the mirrors? First, as you should already know, the fit changes with position. Thus, the left mirror (the mirror adjacent to the driver) is not adjusted in the same way as the right mirror. In particular, it will be modified in such a way as to allow a perfect view of everything behind it. It is really important to have an excellent view of the wing and tail of the car without any obstruction. For the right mirror, it should also be set as best as possible, aiming downward. This setup will make both driving and parking easier.
But what are these details that no one has yet noticed? In addition to the fact that the tail of the car is still clearly visible, the mirror should be oriented to the left with the tailgate open. On the other hand, with regard to the right mirror, the adjustment must be made with the two doors (front and rear) clearly open. That is why the adjustment has to be done by aiming slightly downward from the left mirror. So this detail is very useful, because it indicates, by an intuitive trick, the perfect adjustment of the two side mirrors!
good to know : For novice drivers who just got their driver’s license, there is a more technical aspect to consider. In modern cars, the side mirrors can be easily adjusted by means of a push-button panel placed to the left of the driver. It is electronic, convenient and easy to use. For a better view on the road, always remember to set your car’s side mirrors correctly!
