Mirrors are an essential feature for the safety of a vehicle and the passengers inside it. Without a mirror, only a fraction of the roadway is visible, and the chances of collision and accident multiply.
Lack of knowledge of mirrors in a vehicle or improper adjustment can also cause these troubles. You may need to view from side to side and up for every few seconds.
Proper education of mirror adjustment can help prevent deadly accidents and minor disturbances also.
The proper way of setting a mirror is the one that increases your visibility and decreases discomfort.
Make sure your mirror setting helps you in this:
Changing lanes
General driving
Parallel parking
Pulling a trailer
Adjusting car mirrors includes everything like adjusting the rear view mirror, side mirror, etc. If your car mirror is not adjusted correctly, then you are unknowingly inviting dangers or blind spots by following poor rules of thumb.
Only the newest car models have blind-spot detection systems with cameras or radar to scan behind. The majority of car owners still have to adjust the mirrors manually to get the best result out of it.
Correct Wing Mirror PositionWhenever you learn to drive a car, adjusting the wing mirror position is taught, but only a few motorists remember it. It is essential to know the correct wing mirror position. Increased angle view and blind spot can lead to a collision with pedestrians or cyclists near you.
If the angle is too far, you may not see the vehicles changing lanes or moving out of the junction. The perfect way of adjusting a car mirror is to set it that the horizon sits in the middle of the glass. Also, set them in a way that the back door handle is also visible.
Automatic car mirror adjustment is also effortless and convenient for new drivers. But the automatic car adjustment also has its negative side. Sometimes the mirrors fail to adjust, or they do not align at all.
While discussing the side mirror adjustment, let's first address the misconception related to it. People often get confused that to adjust the side mirrors, they have to hold their head and align the edge of the mirror with the side of their car.
This is a wrong method because this merely reflects something that is already shown in your rearview mirror, and it leaves a wider blind spot to the side of your car.
The correct method of adjusting your side mirror is leaning to the left and resting your head on the window. Now adjust the driver-side view mirror so that only the server-side of your car is visible from that position.
Lean on the right side toward the centre console and adjust the passenger side-view mirror so that the side of your car is barely visible from that position.
You may even need the assistance of another person in properly positioning the mirrors, but if you have remote mirror adjustment controls, you can do it easily.
People often explain how your side mirrors should be positioned, but only a few of them work.
One easy trick for proper adjustment is to align your mirror with the mirror of the other parked car. Then turn your wheel, one turn to the right and back up until the car’s plate gets in the middle of your car window.
Now turn the wheel completely to the left and back up until you are straight. Your car will get parallelly aligned with the help of the side mirror.
If you are a car owner, you must be aware that side mirrors should be adjusted so that their visibility increases to the maximum value.
To increase your visibility, you can also use panoramic view mirrors and precisely adjust the side mirrors that a minimum blind spot has left. Keep the dashboard and the others mirrors free of dust and dirt.
The tips mentioned above will help you in adjusting your car mirrors. The article deals with all the points of how to set up car mirrors. For proper maintenance of the car, you can also read about car servicing and car performance checks.
