Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror

Actual Mirror View

Actual Mirror View

1. When the approaching vehicle is a long distance away, the image in the main mirror is small and near the inboard edge of the mirror.

2. As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and moves outboard.

3. As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main mirror to the blind spot mirror.

4. When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind spot mirror.
