1, for the interior rearview mirror, the left and right positions are adjusted so that the left edge of the mirror is cut just to the right inter-auricular of one's image in the mirror. This means that, under normal driving conditions, you can't see yourself in the interior mirror, while the up and down positions are just enough to place the distant horizon in the center of the mirror.

2, for the left side mirror, the upper and lower position is to put the distant horizon in the center, the left and right position is adjusted to the body occupies 1/4 of the mirror range.

3, for the right side mirror, because the driver's seat is located on the left side, so the driver on the right side of the body of the mastery of the right side of the body is not so easy, coupled with the need to stop sometimes, for the right side mirror to adjust the upper and lower position, the ground area should be larger, about the same, the right side mirror to adjust the upper and lower position. Position when the ground area to be larger, accounting for about 2/3 of the mirror, while the left and right position is also adjusted to the body occupies 1/4 area can be.

Traditional rear-view mirrors shortcomings:

1, the blind spot is large. Limited by the mirror area and adjustment angle, the field of vision is not wide; some in the field of vision to do a better job of models, such as Subaru Forester and Honda Fit, is through the ABC column "thinning" and larger mirrors with, as far as possible to improve the driver's field of vision wide degree. For example, double-curvature mirror technology eliminates blind spots when turning, expanding the field of view twofold;

and anti-dazzle technology reduces the impact of glare from rear vehicles on the driver's vision when driving at night. Even though automakers have added a lot of new technology to rearview mirrors to continually improve the blind spots, there are drawbacks to the mirrors that should not be ignored. For example, it can sometimes block part of the side view; when encountering a car on a narrow road, when reversing into a garage, or even when entering an automatic car wash area, the rearview mirror has the possibility of being broken.

2. Wind resistance. The wind resistance of the car has a professional term called wind resistance coefficient, the last few years of the car wind resistance coefficient of 0.3 or so, sedan low can do 0.23 or so. The impact of the rearview mirror on the wind resistance coefficient can reach 0.01 to 0.03, in fact, has a very large impact on the wind resistance.
