Outside rear-view mirror

On the driver’s seat side, a compound curved-surface mirror is used, while on the front passenger’s seat side, a single curvedsurface mirror is used.

The compound curved-surface mirror has different curvatures between the inner and outer sides of the boundary line (A).

The inner side of the boundary line provides the same vision as that available from an ordinary door mirror.

However, the outer side of the boundary line provides a wider vision than an ordinary door mirror.

WARNING

The sense of distance that you get from an object you see on the inner side of the mirror boundary line differs from the sense of distance that you get from an object you see on the outer side.

An object you see on the outer side of the boundary line of the mirror will look farther away than it actually is (farther away than if you see in a normal flat mirror) as compared with an object you see on the inner side.
