How to Adjust Rearview Mirrors for Beginners
2 Answers
Methods for beginners to adjust rearview mirrors: The driver should first locate the mirror adjustment button on the left side of the driver's seat. L stands for the left side, and R stands for the right side. Point the white arrow to L to adjust the left mirror, and point it to R to adjust the right mirror. The center rearview mirror can be adjusted by hand. Before setting off, adjust your seating position first, then adjust the angle and position of the mirrors. It is recommended to adjust the mirror angle so that the rear door handle is visible. The mirrors in the car, also known as rearview mirrors, are tools that allow the driver to directly obtain all external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the vehicle while seated in the driver's seat. Their main function is to provide convenience for the driver's operation, prevent driving safety accidents, and ensure driving safety.
As an experienced driver, I want to emphasize that safety comes first. Beginners must adjust their rearview mirrors before driving to avoid blind spots and accidents. The specific steps are: First, sit in the driver's seat and adjust the seat properly—not too far back or leaning forward—then sit upright with your head against the headrest. Next, adjust the interior rearview mirror so that the entire rear window is visible in the mirror, such as aligning the headlights of the car behind you in the center. For the side mirrors, adjust them so that you can just see a bit of the door handle at the edge of the mirror, which will cover most of your field of view and prevent sudden appearances of cars from the side. After adjusting, remember to test: When parked, check if you can see the reflection of headlights from behind. When driving slowly, turn your head to ensure there are no cars in the blind spots—only then is it okay. Make this a habit: Spend a minute adjusting your mirrors every time you get in the car. It significantly reduces risks and makes driving easier for you.
