How to Adjust the Central Rearview Mirror Inside a Car?

The method to adjust the central rearview mirror inside a car is: align the left edge of the mirror precisely with the right ear of your reflection in the mirror, ensuring you cannot see yourself while driving. When adjusting the vertical position, place the distant horizon at the center of the mirror. The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car. For the convenience of the driver, to prevent traffic safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all countries mandate that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction.
I've thought about adjusting the center rearview mirror many times. First, sit firmly in the driver's seat and adjust to your most comfortable position before touching the mirror. Gently push the mirror frame edge with your right hand until the entire rear windshield outline appears in the mirror. The key is achieving left-right symmetry, with the vertical position ensuring visibility of both the top edge of the rear window and its intersection with the cabin floor. I've noticed many beginners set it too low, resulting in only half the rear window being visible - creating dangerous blind spots. If dazzled by headlights at night, try flipping the small lever at the mirror's base to activate anti-glare mode. Always recheck side mirror angles afterward to ensure seamless visual coverage across all three mirrors. Remember to readjust whenever you change seatback inclination or place items on the front seat.
