Adjust your inside and outside rear view mirrors Set your rear view mirrors in the correct position. • Adjust your inside rear view mirror to show as much behind you as possible by having the rear window framed within the mirror. • Adjust the outside rear view mirrors to reduce blind spots. You should be able to see your own vehicle in a small portion of the side view mirror closest to the vehicle.
