Chevrolet Silverado: Exterior Mirrors / Blind Spot Mirrors
If equipped, there is a small convex mirror built into the upper and outer corner
of the driver outside mirror. It can show objects that may be in the vehicle's blind
zone.
Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror

Actual Mirror View
- When the approaching vehicle is a long distance away, the image in the main
mirror is small and near the inboard edge of the mirror.
- As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and
moves outboard.
- As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main
mirror to the blind spot mirror.
- When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind
spot mirror.
Using the Outside Mirror with the Blind Spot Mirror
- Set the main mirror so that the side of the vehicle can just be seen and
the blind spot mirror has an unobstructed view.
- When checking for traffic or before changing a lane, look at the main driver/passenger
side mirror to observe traffic in the adjacent lane, behind your vehicle. Check
the blind spot mirror for a vehicle in the blind zone. Then, glance over your
shoulder to double check before moving slowly into the adjacent lane.
