How to Adjust Citroën Rearview Mirrors?
2 Answers
Citroën rearview mirrors can be adjusted as follows: 1. For the vertical position, align the distant horizon to the center of the mirror; 2. For the horizontal position, adjust so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the mirror's surface; 3. When adjusting the vertical position of the right rearview mirror, ensure that the ground area occupies about two-thirds of the mirror's surface; 4. Similarly, for the right rearview mirror's horizontal position, adjust so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the mirror's surface. Citroën is a French brand, and its car series include: Triumph, C2, New Xsara Picasso, Elysee, Fukang, etc. Taking the 2018 Elysee Manual Fashion model as an example, it is a compact car with a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure. The dimensions are: length 4427 mm, width 1748 mm, height 1476 mm, with a wheelbase of 2652 mm.
Here's how I usually adjust the rearview mirrors when driving my Citroën: First, sit properly in the driver's seat in your normal driving posture—don't adjust while leaning. See that knob on the door panel? Turn it left to adjust the left mirror and right for the right mirror. Then, use the small joystick to move it up, down, left, or right. Adjust while watching the mirror until you can just see a tiny bit of your car's body, mainly leaving more road visible in the mirror. When adjusting the left mirror, avoid pointing it directly at your car door—that creates too big of a blind spot. For the right mirror, try to get a view of the road near the right rear wheel. After adjusting, test-drive to check the actual effect, especially at night to see if there's any glare. It's best to do this while parked—adjusting while driving is too dangerous.
