Warnings and Cautions for Using the Mirrors
Be sure to look over your shoulder before changing lanes.

Always return the outside mirrors to the driving position before you start driving.
Driving with the outside mirrors folded in is dangerous. Your rear view will be restricted, which could lead to an unexpected accident.

Adjusting the outside mirrors while driving the vehicle is dangerous as doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
