Part: Side mirror

Video tutorial

Adjusting the mirrors is a very important action to take before getting on the road. Their adjustment is essential for merging into traffic, making turns, parking, overtaking, pulling over, and changing lanes.

But how should they be adjusted? The internal rear-view mirror should be positioned to fully view the rear window. The electric external mirrors should be adjusted using the buttons located on the steering wheel.

Position them so that there is minimal view of the rear of the car and ensure they are centred.
