While backing, you should:

When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.

• Rely only on your mirrors.
• Flash your lights.
• Open your door to see if it is safe to proceed.
• Turn your head and look through the rear window.
