[Mechanical SFX]
Hey everybody. Rene here from O'Reilly Auto Parts to
show you how to adjust the rear view and side view mirror's on your car truck or
SUV. Those mirrors are pretty important, they're the best way to know what's
happening behind you in traffic. Some vehicles will have motorized adjusters
for your side view mirrors and some will have manual toggles you can use to get
them just right. Depending on your vehicle the use of these controls will
vary slightly. You'll find instructions for operation in your owners manual so
let's assume you've taken a look at those instructions so we can focus on
the important things, when and how they should be adjusted. First of all, always
adjust your mirrors before you start driving. Trying to do it while you're
already on the road is putting you and other drivers at risk. Which leads us to
how. You want to adjust the three mirrors in a way that minimizes your blind spots.
So before you do anything try to position yourself in the driver's seat
the way you would be positioned if you are actually driving. Then manually
adjust the rearview mirror on your windshield so that it's showing you as
much of the back window as possible. Now adjust the driver side mirror until you
can see the road or driveway behind you at the bottom of the mirror, and the side
of the vehicle is barely visible on the right-hand side of the mirror. Having
your vehicle at the edge of the reflection will give you a steady point
of reference for what you're seeing in the mirror relative to your vehicle. The
passenger side mirror typically allows you to see a little more than the
driver's side mirror does, which is why objects are closer than they appear. So
adjust it until the back bumper or lower corner of your vehicle is in the bottom
left-hand corner of the mirror. And that's it. If you start driving and find
that any minor adjustments are needed wait until you've stopped for a moment
to do your fine-tuning. Our DIY videos are designed to help answer questions we
