MIRROR SYSTEM DETAILS

Wide View Door Mirror

1. The wide view mirror has a different curvature inside and outside a boundary line that is provided on the mirror surface. The area inside the boundary line provides a filed of vision with the same curvature as a conventional mirror. However, the curvature of the area outside the boundary line has been changed in order to provide a field of vision for the outside rear area of the vehicle that is wider than a conventional mirror.

   Tech Tips

   1. Objects inside and outside the boundary line will have a different sense of distance in how they appear.

   2. The objects outside the boundary line appear to be farther away than they actually are compared to objects inside the boundary line.
