How to Adjust Rearview Mirror Angles?
1 Answers
In conventional vehicles, there are three standard rearview mirrors: the left, right, and interior center mirror. The specific adjustment methods are as follows: For the left rearview mirror, it can be adjusted up, down, left, or right via an electric switch or manually. The optimal adjustment angle for the left mirror is when the road environment occupies most of the mirror surface, with only a quarter of the car body visible, and the vanishing point of the road is positioned at the center of the mirror. For the right rearview mirror, the optimal angle similarly has the road environment occupying most of the mirror surface. Since the right mirror is farther from the driver's line of sight, the road's vanishing point should be positioned towards the top of the mirror for better visibility, with the car body also occupying a quarter of the mirror. The interior center rearview mirror is relatively easier to adjust. Simply adjust it manually so that the distant horizon is centered in the mirror. Since everyone's height varies, the optimal mirror angles differ as well. Therefore, before adjusting the mirrors, first adjust the seat. Ensure your eyes can clearly observe the road ahead, the steering wheel is comfortably within reach, and you are seated comfortably. Once the seat is in the right position, you can then proceed to adjust the rearview mirrors.
