  1. Wing mirror

    A wing mirror is a mirror found on the exterior of motor vehicles for the purposes of helping the driver see areas behind and to the sides of the vehicle, outside of the driver's peripheral vision. Although almost all modern cars mount their side mirrors on the doors, normally at the "A" pillar, rather than the wings, the "wing mirror" term is still frequently used. However, wing mirrors continue to be relatively common in the Japanese domestic market. The mirrors on bicycles and motorcycles are usually mounted to the handlebars, and there are usually two of them. The side mirror is equipped for manual or remote vertical and horizontal adjustment so as to provide adequate coverage to drivers of differing height and seated position. Remote adjustment may be mechanical by means of bowden cables, or may be electric by means of geared motors. The mirror glass may also be electrically heated and may include electrochromic dimming to reduce glare to the driver from the headlamps of following vehicles. Increasingly, the side mirror incorporates the vehicle's turn signal repeaters. There is evidence to suggest mirror-mounted repeaters may be more effective than repeaters mounted in the previously predominant fender side location.
