How to Adjust the Exterior Rearview Mirrors on the Boyue?
4 Answers
The method to adjust the exterior rearview mirrors on the Boyue is as follows: 1. Ensure the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position; 2. Rotate the mirror adjustment switch to L or R to select the mirror you wish to adjust; 3. Push the mirror adjustment switch left, right, up, or down to adjust the mirror; 4. After adjustment, turn the left and right mirror adjustment switch to the 0 position. The Boyue is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4519 mm in length, 1831 mm in width, and 1694 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
When I first got my Boyue, I also spent quite some time figuring out how to adjust the rearview mirrors. Later, I discovered that the small square toggle on the driver's door panel is the key. Turn it left to 'L' for the left mirror and right to 'R' for the right mirror, then push the toggle in four directions to adjust the mirror angle. Here's the important part: when adjusting the right rearview mirror, it's best to tilt your head slightly toward the left window to minimize blind spots as much as possible. The mirror heating function is linked to the rear window defogger, which is especially useful on rainy days. Adjust the mirror to just see the rear door handle for the best view—don't follow those who adjust it to show a third of the car body, as it narrows the field of vision. Remember to turn the toggle back to the middle position after each adjustment to avoid accidental misalignment.
Once while accompanying a novice friend for driving practice, I noticed his rearview mirrors were a complete mess. Sharing my experience: Sit upright and fasten the seatbelt before adjusting for accurate positioning. The rearview mirror adjustment joystick on the Boyue is located on the left armrest of the driver's seat, resembling a small gaming joystick. To adjust the left mirror, push the joystick forward, backward, left, or right, and the mirror will move accordingly. The same applies to the right mirror. When adjusting the right mirror, my friend turned his head to look out the right window, resulting in the car's image disappearing entirely. Instead, maintain a normal sitting posture and position the rear door handle at the bottom right corner of the mirror for the most scientific adjustment. For adjusting the tilt angle, ensure the sky and ground each occupy half of the mirror. Be careful not to force the joystick, as it's a precision electronic component.
After three years with the Bo Yue, adjusting the mirrors has become muscle memory. The illustrated knob on the door panel: turn clockwise past the click to adjust the right mirror, counterclockwise for the left. Pushing the center button up, down, left, or right is even more responsive than a touchscreen phone. Recently discovered a neat trick: press the adjustment button while reversing to temporarily tilt the mirror downward. The mirror heating button is on the AC panel, the one with the snowflake symbol. Remember once during heavy rain when the mirrors got blurry; within five minutes of turning it on, all the water droplets evaporated. Oh, and the power-folding button is below the adjustment knob—super handy for navigating narrow roads when meeting oncoming traffic.
