Once the mirror is adjusted to the correct position, tighten the set screw, located at the end of the arm, to hold the mirror in place. These mirrors can also be manually folded in. On the lower portion of each mirror is a convex mirror. A convex mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the driver's seat. Outside Power Mirrors If the vehicle has power mirrors, the control is located on the driver's side door. If your vehicle is equipped with this style camper-type mirrors, they can be adjusted so you can have a clear view of the objects behind you. Select each mirror by turning the knob clockwise for the passenger's side mirror or counterclockwise for the driver's side mirror. The center position is neutral. Then, adjust the mirror angle by moving the knob in the desired direction. 2-29
