 When the semi-trailer turns, there is always a side mirror that can’t see the rear of the semi trailer. This is the normal situation, It’s better to find a personal to help the command.

Look at the instructions of the people in command.

For example, if you want turn back to the right, Steering Wheel direction is to the left. When reversing, be sure to pay attention to the distance between the right rear and the intersection of the road. Look at the right rear when enter the street, quickly turn the direction, making the body be squared as soon as possible, at this time, you need to pay attention to the left rear corner, if you can’t come over in one circle, it’s better to go back, it can be repaired several times.

For the interior rear view mirror, the left and right positions are adjusted to the left edge of the mirror, to the right ear of the image in the mirror. This means that in normal driving situations, you can’t see yourself in the rearview mirror, and the upper and lower positions can be placed in the center of the mirror. For the left rear view mirror, the upper and lower positions are centered at the far horizon, and the left and right positions are adjusted to 1/4 of the mirror range of the body. For the right side mirror, because the driver’s seat is on the left side, the driver’s grasp of the right side of the car is not so easy. And sometimes need on-street parking, when adjusting the up and down position for the right side mirror, the floor area need be larger, about 2/3 of the mirror surface. The left and right positions are also adjusted to the body area of 1/4 area.
