How to Adjust Citroën Rearview Mirrors?

Citroën rearview mirror adjustment method is as follows: For the up and down position, place the distant horizon in the center. For the left and right position, adjust until the body occupies one-fourth of the mirror's range. When adjusting the right rearview mirror's up and down position, ensure the ground area in the mirror is larger, occupying about two-thirds of the mirror's surface, while the left and right position should similarly have the body occupying one-fourth of the area. Citroën models include the Citroën C4 Picasso, Citroën C4L, Citroën C5, Triumph, Citroën Elysée, etc. Taking the Citroën Elysée as an example: its body dimensions are 4427mm in length, 1748mm in width, and 1476mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2652mm. It is equipped with a 1.6T engine, with a maximum power output of 86 kilowatts.

Adjusting Citroën's rearview mirrors may seem simple, but it's actually crucial. Let's start with the left-side mirror: you need to ensure it provides a clear view of the road behind your car while also including a slight side perspective. Before driving, sit upright and locate the control switch or button on the door panel – usually positioned conveniently for the driver. Press the directional button and adjust slowly until the mirror covers most of the road surface, with just a sliver of your car's edge visible. The right-side mirror is slightly trickier to adjust; it's recommended to angle it slightly more outward than the left mirror to eliminate blind spots and enhance safety during turns. Don't forget the center rearview mirror (the interior one) – align it to show the entire rear window area so you can instantly spot overtaking vehicles. Spending just ten seconds adjusting these before each drive can prevent numerous accidents. Take your time with the process – safety always comes first.

Hey, I've been there. Here's a quick guide to adjusting your Citroën's mirrors. First, locate the control panel or button cluster on the driver's door - on most models it's that small panel below the steering wheel. For the left mirror, press the arrow buttons to move it until you see about two-thirds road and just a sliver of your car's body. The right mirror's more crucial - tilt it slightly more outward than the left one for better lane-change visibility. The center mirror has a fixed mount; just cup it with your hand and gently adjust to frame the entire rear window. The whole process is quick - test it before starting the engine. If the power buttons fail, check that the fuse hasn't tripped. Make proper mirror adjustment a driving habit - it really pays off.

Here's my usual practice: Adjusting Citroën's rearview mirrors shouldn't be taken lightly. Lower the left mirror slightly to get a better view of the rear wheel and ground; raise the right one a bit to reduce blind spots. When operating, find the switch button on the door panel and press lightly left or right for precise position adjustments. For the center rearview mirror, simply push it by hand to align with the rear view. It's recommended to first secure your seating position, sit upright, and then proceed with the adjustments.

Adjusting Citroen's rearview mirrors is quite convenient. The first step is to ensure the car is powered on, otherwise the buttons won't respond. Adjust the left mirror to show just a sliver of the car body with the road dominating the view; tilt the right mirror outward slightly for peace of mind when driving on highways. The adjustment buttons are usually located in the driver's door control panel—use the directional keys to move them gradually. Before driving off, double-check your adjustments. If the view appears blurry, inspect the mirror's cleanliness. It's a simple process that takes about two minutes.
