Using the Outside Mirror with the Blind Spot Mirror

GMC Terrain / GMC Terrain 2012 Owners Manual / Keys, Doors, and Windows / Exterior Mirrors / Blind Spot Mirrors / Using the Outside Mirror with the Blind Spot Mirror

1. Set the main mirror so that the side of the vehicle can just be seen and the blind spot mirror has an unobstructed view.

2. When checking for traffic or before changing a lane, look at the main driver/passenger side mirror to observe traffic in the adjacent lane, behind your vehicle. Check the blind spot mirror for a vehicle in the blind zone. Then, glance over your shoulder to double check before moving slowly into the adjacent lane.
