Most modern cars are equipped with side mirror sensors that will automatically activate the car's blind spot mirrors when it detects another vehicle in your blind spot. Here's how to turn on your side mirror sensor:
1. Locate the blind spot mirror control switch. This is usually located on the driver's door panel, near the window controls.
2. Activate the switch by moving it into the on position. You may see a small light come on near the switch, indicating that the feature is now active.
3. Test the system by slowly backing out of a parking space while keeping an eye on your side mirrors. You should see the blind spot mirrors activate when another vehicle enters your blind spot.
