Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks
English term or phrase: o/side mirror
Jag översätter en bilhandbok, och då står det så här i avsnittet om att låsa dörrarna med smartnyckel eller fjärrstyrningsnyckel:

If you lock the doors using the key hole on the door, the theft deterrent mode is activated and O/Side mirrors are folded. (if Folding/Unfolding SW Auto Mode is ON)

Menar man Other side?

spegeln på passagerarsidan
Explanation:
Man säger offside och nearside om passagerar- respektive förarsidan på brittisk engelska. Verkar dock underligt om inte båda speglarna fälls in.

Du kan ha rätt om ytterbackspeglar enligt nedan, men de borde kallas external mirrors. /P-E

Notes to answerer
Asker: Tror du inte att det står för Outside rearview mirrors (alltså Ytterbackspeglarna)? Jag har översatt så på en massa andra ställen. Då fälls ju alla ytterbackspeglarna in.

Asker: Det har förekommit en hel del brister i formuleringarna i källtexten, så jag tror det är möjligt att de uttryckt sig lite felaktigt.
