WARNING
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects visible in the mirrors are
closer than they appear. You could misjudge
the distance from road users driving behind
you when changing lanes, for instance. There
is a risk of an accident.
You should therefore always look over your
shoulder to determine the actual distance
from road users driving behind you.
An incorrectly adjusted exterior mirror may
impair
visibility. For this reason, always check
the position of the exterior mirrors on the
vehicle before starting a journey.
