Nowadays, cars have become the means of transportation for most people. Today, Aobang Shanghai Car Rental Company Xiaobian will share with you the method of adjusting the various rearview mirrors of the vehicle:
The car comes standard with three mirrors: the left exterior mirrors, the right exterior mirrors, and the central interior mirrors. Through these three mirrors, our field of view can be extended by about 60 degrees, plus the 200-degree field of view of the human eye, the driver's field of view in the car is about 260 degrees. The remaining range of about 100 degrees is called the visual blind spot. Objects in blind spots cannot be perceived visually unless we deliberately turn around to look at them. Correctly adjusting the rearview mirror is not simply to reduce the blind spot, but to make our visual field more conducive to our driving.
Before adjusting the rearview mirror, we must adjust the position of the vehicle seat and the steering wheel. The basic principle of adjusting the seat is to sit comfortably, have a clear view, and use the steering wheel with ease. Maintaining the correct sitting position is the prerequisite for adjusting the rearview mirror, and the rearview mirror that is adjusted when the sitting position is not correct cannot play its proper role.
For the central interior mirror, we will adjust the horizon image inside the central mirror to the center of the mirror, and the image of your right ear to the left edge of the mirror.
For the left exterior mirror, we need to adjust the horizon image inside the mirror to the center of the mirror, and adjust the image of the left body to the area occupying 1/4 of the right side of the mirror.
For the right exterior mirror, we need to adjust the horizon image inside the mirror to be located at 2/3 of the height of the mirror, and adjust the image of the right body to occupy the area on the left side of the mirror. Making the ground image occupy more of the right mirror area makes it easier for the driver to grasp the road conditions on the right side of the vehicle and the distance between the body and the road teeth when pulling over.
Recognize and properly face visual blind spots:
In addition to the human eye and the 260-degree field of view covered by the rearview mirror, the remaining 100-degree range in the car is called the visual blind spot. Many accidents in which the front lane-changer is hit by the rear car from the side are caused by the driver not being able to perceive the car in the blind spot.
In order to determine whether there is a car in the blind spot, we need to turn our head to see if there is a car at the rear of the side of the car after turning on the lights and looking at the rearview mirror. Otherwise, your car will crash as soon as it turns to the rear.
Ways to reduce visual blind spots:
To reduce blind spots, we can add a small, round, wide-angle mirror to the rearview mirror.
The field of view of the central rear-view mirror can be enlarged by adding a central rear-view mirror illustrating this wide field of view.
