Spasibo!
Ditto...the "objects in mirror" is only on the passenger side "convex" mirror sold here in the USA (perhaps Canada).

Other parts of the world are smarter ...thus don't need instructions to explain what is obviously visible...and they don't have instructions written on their passenger side mirror...regardless if it is the aspherical "wide angle" mirror or the "convex" mirror:

You can see in the diagram below...that mirror's #2 (convex) & #1 (wide angle) have no writing on it. Yet the USA's convex mirror...mirror #3 & a mirror that looks like Arabic (#5) writing on it is used here and there...whereas the plain mirror #4 (with 1:1 reflective ratio) is used mostly here in the State (and again, perhaps Canada) only on the driver's side:



BTW...if you can spring for the cost...using the wide angle mirrors on both driver & passenger side...is the BOSS!!!. I love it...there are NO blind spots at all:



(wide angle mirror (#1) has NO writing on it)
