Since the mid-'90's aspherical (split) driver's side mirrors have been common in Europe. The passenger side mirror may be spherical, just like in the US. In the US, there has been an effort to make aspherical (split) driver's side mirrors legal, but so far no joy. Regulations take here years and years too change. See sealed beam fiasco. Regulations didn't keep me from putting such an aspherical mirror on my Audi and drive around with it for 18 years. Strangely enough, it is legal to attach a small aspherical mirror to the flat driver side mirror, which is in my opinion not a good idea.
Anyway, if you could take and post a picture that would be great!
After having used a split mirror for the past 18 years, I would not go back to a flat driver's side mirror. Those few extra agrees FOV really help in my opinion. Adding an aspherical driver's side mirror would be my first mod.
I am not aware of any supplier who carries them in the US. I know that ECS carries things like e-codes (Euro headlights) for VW/Audi in the IS, so some vendor may sell Euro parts for Jeep. I buy that sort of thing during trips when I go visiting family, or I ask a friend to send it. Such parts may also crop up on eBay.
I'm in South Carolina and I'd buy a pair of these mirrors in a heartbeat if they were available in the USA. I had a Fiat 500L that I traded in on my Renegade. My old 500L had these mirrors. It took about one week to get used to them. And after that it was just great help with seeing cars in the blind spots.
I saw these on a Renegade in a video about a year ago. If anyone knows how to order them then I'd love to know. Thanks.
My dad has a Chevy HHR with this feature. It's cool, but I've found that as long as you have decently large mirrors (like the Renegade), proper adjustment can entirely eliminate any blind spot to the side. I've tried for years to convince my dad of this, but he's of the old school, "I should see the side of the car in the mirror." opinion, so I'm glad his car has the split aspherical mirror.
These mirrors are needed in mass quantities in the USA. On a somewhat related note, has anyone noticed the side mirror casing on the driver's side is almost parallel with the body when fully extended and the passenger side mirror casing is angled around 10 degrees inwards towards the body when fully extended? How to find out? Stand in front of your Renegade and focus on the fully extended side mirror once on the driver's side and once on the passenger side.
Any members from Italy with a 1.4T renegade? Can you please check your manual and let me know what kind of oil it states as recommended? 5w40 or 0w30?
A photo of the manual page would be very much appreciated.
Thanx!
Hi,
Last weekend I went off roading in Steinbourg Off Road Park (France) and I tried to evaluate the Renegade TH climbing ability (Jeep does not rate it).
As you can see on the attached photos, I stooped in a hill climb with 31º (60%) and tried to start to climb it. Although some wheels spined a...
A quick couple of heads up for anyone who's coming to or though France.
1)
As of today the national speed limit has been dropped from 90km/h to 80 km/h
for all main roads without a median or central barrier.
Not all signs have been changed, but radar cameras and the police are enforcing the...
