HOW TO SET YOUR MIRRORS THE RIGHT WAY
1. Start with the rearview mirror. Sit in your normal driving position and adjust the inside mirror so that you see as much of the rear window as possible.
2. Left mirror: Lean your head toward the driver’s window until it almost touches the glass. Adjust the mirror outward until you can just barely see the side of your car.
3. Right mirror: Lean your head toward the center of the car, above the center console. Adjust the right mirror outward until you can just barely see the side of your car.
4. Sit back upright. From your normal seat position, you should no longer see any part of your own car in either side mirror, just
like in image D.
HOW TO TEST IT
Next time you are on a multi-lane road, watch a car that is passing you. It should appear in your rearview mirror first, then slide into the side mirror, and then show up in your peripheral vision. There should be no moment when it disappears completely. If it does, adjust the mirror a little more outward.
