Reference: close-quarter mirror

Reference information:
This is the term used by Volvo.

Föraren har god sikt genom stor vindruta, rejäla backspeglar och sidorutor samt närsiktsspegel på passagerarsidan. De effektiva huvudstrålkastarna ger en koncentrerad ljusbild med lång räckvidd.

The driver has good all-round vision through the large windscreen, large rear-view mirrors and a close-quarter mirror on the passenger side. The effective main headlamps provide a concentrated, long-range beam of light.

Perfect close-quarter control
There are many choices when it comes to rear-view mirrors, the main mirrors are heated with the option of electric power adjustment, as well as wide-angle mirrors on both sides and the standard kerb view mirror. A close-quarter mirror at the front is also available allowing you to get a perfect view of the area close to the vehicle.
