Steps to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors of Lavida: 1. On the left control area of the driver's seat, the 0 position in the middle of the adjustment knob turns off the adjustment function; 2. Rotate the knob to R to adjust the direction and angle of the right rearview mirror; 3. Rotate the knob to L to adjust the direction and angle of the left rearview mirror; 4. Push the knob up or down to adjust the rearview mirror to move up or down; 5. Push the knob left or right to adjust the rearview mirror to move left or right. Lavida is a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen, with a body size of 4670mm, 1806mm, 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The suspension system adopts a combination of MacPherson independent suspension and torsion beam non-independent suspension.
When I first started driving the Lavida, I always felt that the rearview mirrors weren't adjusted properly, and I was particularly worried about poor visibility leading to accidents. I used the control knob on the door panel to adjust them—first, start the car or turn on the power, locate the round rotary switch, turn it to the left or right mirror position, then use the small joystick to slowly adjust the angle. The key is to do this while sitting in the driver's seat in your normal driving posture: adjust the left mirror so you can see a bit of the car's rear to reduce blind spots; the right mirror needs to be adjusted outward more because the blind spot on the right rear is larger. After adjusting, test it while driving to ensure the mirrors don't just show the road but also let you spot nearby vehicles or pedestrians. After a few drives, I found the visibility much clearer, making parking and lane changes smoother and safer. Remember not to rush when adjusting the mirrors—practice in an empty space to avoid distractions while driving.
I always prioritize driving safety, and even small details like adjusting the rearview mirrors should never be taken lightly. On the Lavida, proper mirror adjustment can prevent many accidents. My routine is to power on the car and use the door panel control panel—select the left or right mirror icon, then fine-tune the position with the joystick. Specifically: the left mirror angle should allow me to see the side of the car and a bit of my own vehicle, while the right mirror focuses on covering blind spots, such as the bicycle lane. After adjustment, I drive for a while to confirm the reflection range is appropriate with no blind spots. This is especially useful for night or rainy driving when visibility is poor and accident risks are higher. I also regularly check if the mirror angles have shifted, cultivating good habits to ensure safety for myself and others.
