Mazda 3 car mirrors

Mazda 3 exterior mirrors

The driver's mirror provides a wide field of view and consists of two zones (external and internal) with different curvature of the reflective surface.

The outer and outer zones are separated by a vertical line.

The inner zone is a conventional convex mirror, while the outer zone provides the driver with an increased field of view to the rear.

This combination allows you to better assess the traffic situation behind when changing lanes.
