Does the Bora have adjustable rearview mirrors?
2 Answers
The Bora rearview mirrors are adjustable. Rearview Mirror Heating: The rearview mirror heating function is indicated by the symbol at the lower right of the knob. Rotate the knob to this position to activate the heating function. When the rearview mirror is unclear, this function can help make the mirror surface clearer. Rearview Mirror Folding: To fold the rearview mirrors, simply rotate the knob to the folding symbol as shown in the diagram. Additionally, some models feature an automatic folding function that can be set to fold the mirrors automatically when the vehicle is locked. Correct Adjustment Angle: For optimal visibility, the rearview mirror should be parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the center of the mirror, occupying half of the mirror's height. The mirror should be slightly angled toward the driver to ensure a clear view of the vehicles directly behind. When the seat is adjusted to a comfortable position, it is recommended that the car's reflection occupies one-fourth of the mirror, with the horizon occupying half. Note that the car's reflection should not be too small, as this may make it difficult to observe the actual situation of vehicles closely following behind. Conversely, it should not be too large, as this may obscure the view of vehicles in other lanes. The adjustment method for the right rearview mirror differs slightly from the left. The car's reflection should still occupy one-fourth of the mirror, but the horizon should be adjusted to occupy two-thirds of the mirror's height.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Bora for many years, often shuttling kids around the school area. The car's rearview mirrors indeed have adjustment functions, and the electric adjustment is super convenient. Sitting in the driver's seat, just press a small button to adjust the angle up, down, left, or right, avoiding blind spots, which is especially crucial when changing lanes in crowded areas. I remember one rainy day when the rearview mirrors fogged up, I used the heating function to clear them immediately, restoring clear visibility and enhancing driving safety. If the adjustment button malfunctions, such as occasional poor contact, it's recommended to visit a professional repair shop to check the wiring or replace parts, usually costing just a few hundred yuan to fix. Some higher-end versions can even fold automatically, reducing the risk of scraping the curb when parking. Overall, this design is very user-friendly, especially for family car users, making daily operations simple and practical, saving a lot of hassle.
