Ditto...the writing on the passenger mirror...warning of the "distance perception" is a one of the inherit "nanny state" warnings to reduce litigation. The phrase "
objects in mirror are closer than they appear" is a safety warning that is required {1} to be engraved on passenger side mirrors of motor vehicles in the USA, Canada, and India.
1. For example, in the U.S, PART 571 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Section 571.111 S5.4.2 "Each convex mirror shall have permanently and indelibly marked at the lower edge of the mirror's reflective surface, in letters not less than 4.8 mm nor more than 6.4 mm high the words “Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear.”
The US DOT also think that us Americans can't handle a non 1:1 reflective ratio on the driver's side mirror...so again, the aspherical mirrors are kicked off the option list. :thumbsdown:
