rearview mirror, also known as a second eye, which reflects the automobile rear, side and bottom of the case, so that the driver can see these positions indirectly, to expand the field of view of the driver. Belong to the important safety mirror member, its mirror appearance and handling are quite particular. So rearview mirror quality and installation have the appropriate industry standards and characteristics, can not be altered.
1. Classification and adjustment method
is divided into a central rear view mirror, the left and right rearview mirrors mirror three.
1. The adjustment of the central mirror
around the left edge of the mirror position adjustment just to see their own reflection in the mirror, under normal driving conditions in , from the central rearview mirror they can not see their own, and the upper and lower positions is placed in the distant horizon to the center of the mirror.
Central rearview mirror adjustment essentials: intermediate horizontal pendulum, put the left ears. Distant horizon mirror positioned across the center line position, and then move around, their image to the right ear immediately on the left edge of the mirror.
2. adjusting the right side mirror
Since the driver’s seat on the left side, so the driver of the situation on the right side of the vehicle body more difficult to master, sometimes coupled with the roadside the need to stop the right mirror in the adjusted position when the floor area should be left to be large, about two-thirds of the mirror. As for left and right positions, the same mirror is adjusted to 1/4 of the area of the vehicle body can be.
on the right side mirror adjustment essentials: 2/3 placed in the horizontal position of the mirror, and then the edge of the vehicle body is adjusted to occupy 1/4 of the mirror image.
3. adjusting the left mirror
on the
process, the next location in the center of the distant horizon, left and right position adjusting to the body occupying 1/4 of the range mirror.
to adjust the left mirror essentials: the horizontal midline mirror is placed, the edge of the vehicle body and then adjusted to occupy 1/4 of the mirror image.
4. How to try to eliminate the eye corners
To eliminate dead line of sight, as much as possible to the left and right side mirrors or to tone down out. Facts have proved that the central rear-view mirror can not see yourself, there are many drivers to adjust the central rearview mirror can shine into their own, these are the wrong approach. Whether the switch lanes or left, turn right, or in the case of determining the safe and secure normal driving people do not look back in the rotation only eye.
2. Use the proper mirror
CarsThe process of moving in a dynamic process of change. Driver observation, the collection of traffic information, are generally just a traffic situation in front of the note, but did not pay attention to the traffic conditions on both sides and the back. That is not the correct use of mirrors to observe that making the wrong estimate, taking the wrong operational measures. Note from the following aspects:
(1) stop, start, overtaking, turn, turn around and travel route and the like when the changes take place, are given to the respective driving signals simultaneously must observe mirrors, abreast traffic on both sides and rear to prevent surprise when suddenly happens.
position and angle (2) to adjust the preceding vehicle rearview mirror. Driving, since the running of the vehicle vibrations, can lead to changes in the position and angle of the mirror, this should be observed and adjust.
(3) through the local market, such as intersections are driving more people, to travel slowly, to observe the rear view mirror.
(4) at both sides by non-motor vehicles or pedestrians narrow road bridge, to slow down, due attention mirror; pedestrians or non-motor vehicles, and to maintain the necessary lateral spacing.
(5) and more attention to the preceding vehicle maintaining the necessary safety distance, but also observation through the rearview mirror, the rear of the vehicle is determined, be aware of the case when dealing with the following distance, so as to avoid rear-end accident.
(6) before the predictable braking of the door mirror to be observed, and pay attention to the back position of the vehicle relative speed, and then determines the braking measures to prevent rear-end braking.
(7) when passing through the intersection, the traffic conflict more, to reduce the speed, both pedestrians and vehicles to observe the situation, under the premise of ensuring safety passed.
3. How to clean up mirror
is a good mirror toothpaste cleaning agent, the cleaning effect in addition to its own, the abrasive is very delicate, because the left and right side mirrors exposed outside, it is easy to oil stains in the air, if general wiping tissue paper, Sassafras is not a clean but encountered rain, or will become blurred. This is what we can dip out of the toothbrush with toothpaste from the center outward mirror brush uniform circular motion, then rinse with water. So even in the face of rain, water droplets will form a ball and quickly ruled out, will not stick in the mirror as a hinder driving safety.
