Adjusting the Steering Wheel:  
Adjusting the steering wheel while the  
vehicle is moving is dangerous.  
Moving it can very easily cause the  
driver to abruptly turn to the left or  
right. This can lead to loss of control  
or an accident. Never adjust the  
steering wheel while the vehicle is  
moving.  
WARNING  
Convex Mirror (Passenger Side):  
Changing lanes without taking into  
account the actual distance of the  
vehicle in the convex mirror is  
dangerous. You could have a serious  
accident. What you see in the convex  
mirror is closer than it appears. Be  
sure to look over your shoulder before  
changing lanes.
