2.1 DESCRIPTION OF EXTERIOR MIRRORS
All exterior mirrors and exterior mirror arms
used are factory set for average driving
conditions. After the superstructure has been
constructed on the vehicle, it is required by law
that all exterior mirrors and exterior mirror arms
should be re-adjusted in accordance with EC
Directive 88/321. This critical adjustment
depends entirely on the width of the vehicle’s
superstructure.
To ensure proper adjustment of the exterior
mirror/exterior mirror arms as provided for in the
Directive, it is important to follow all adjustment
procedures closely.
Exterior mirror classification
This section describes the different types of
vehicle exterior mirrors according to t he
standard EC exterior mirror classification. The
following vehicle exterior mirror categories apply
to trucks over 7.5 tonnes:
”Category 2” - Main exterior mirror
”Category 4” - Wide angle exterior
mirror
”Category 5” - Close-up exterior mirror
Note:
Category 1 (inside) and category 3 (exterior)
mirrors are intended for passenger cars.
The exterior mirror consists of convex glass and
an aerodynamically shaped mirror housing. The
main exterior mirror and wide-angle exterior
mirror (only on co-driver side) are fitted to a
D-shaped arm on the door. The pavement mirror
is attached to the upper part of the door on a
separate bracket.
The exterior mirror bracket returns to its original
position if it gets flapped back. On several
models there is an extra exterior mirror (apart
from a pavement mirror) on co-driver side giving
the driver a better view of the drawn vehicle.
