4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the JOYTUTUS rearview mirror provides an enhanced view of your surroundings. Its convex design offers a wider perspective, which is crucial for safe driving maneuvers.
- Wider Field of View: The panoramic design significantly expands your rearward vision, allowing you to see more of the road and surrounding traffic.
- Blind Spot Reduction: By providing a broader view, the mirror helps to minimize blind spots on both sides of your vehicle, making lane changes and merging safer.
- Anti-Glare: The blue tint of the mirror helps to diffuse harsh light from headlights behind you, reducing eye strain during night driving.
- Reversing Aid: The extended view assists in safer reversing by giving a clearer picture of obstacles and distances behind your vehicle.
- Passenger Monitoring: Easily observe passengers in the back seat, particularly useful for parents with young children.

5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your rearview mirror, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to wipe the mirror surface. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the anti-glare coating.
- Secure Fit: Periodically check that the mirror's clips are securely fastened to your original rearview mirror to prevent movement or detachment.
- Protection: The mirror is designed with anti-fall properties and comes in protective packaging. While durable, avoid dropping or subjecting it to excessive force.

6. Troubleshooting
- Mirror does not fit: Ensure your original rearview mirror dimensions are compatible. The panoramic mirror measures 11.8 inches x 2.9 inches and can extend up to 3.5 inches.
- Mirror feels loose: Re-adjust the clips on the back of the panoramic mirror to ensure they are firmly gripping your original mirror.
- Images appear distorted or distant: This is a characteristic of convex mirrors, designed to provide a wider field of view. It may take some time to adapt to the altered perception of distance.
- Anti-glare not effective in very dark conditions: The blue tint is designed to reduce glare from headlights. In completely dark environments, it is not recommended for primary use as it may slightly reduce overall brightness.
