Side Mirrors
Blind-Spot
As with most all vehicles, Prius has a blind-spot immediately to the left-rear of the driver. The
solution to that is carefully aiming the mirror on the side. You can also add a blind-spot mirror
to it, the very same way as with other vehicles.
The photo above shows a blind-spot mirror installed, outside the driver-side door. (There’s just an
adhesive sticker on the back of it. So installation only takes a moment.) The upper-right corner is
the least intrusive location, since you won’t normally see a vehicle positioned there anyway.
It is recommended that you purchase two (one for each side of the car) made from high-quality
hard plastic. The cost is around $6 for a set of that nicer type. That makes it easier to see fine
detail and more resistant to water spots. In fact, you’ll find that the plastic stays cleaner in the
Winter than the glass of the big mirror.
