Convex type (front passenger side).
The mirror has single curvature on its surface.
WARNING.
Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes:
Changing lanes without taking into
account the actual distance of the
vehicle in the convex mirror is
dangerous. You could have a serious

which might cause you to hit another
car when changing lanes.
