Turn the knob to "L" to select the left rearview mirror for adjustment. The left outer rearview mirror should be adjusted with the upper and lower halves each occupying half, left three-quarters and right one-quarter, and the rear door handle should be visible.4. Turn the knob to "R" to select the right rearview mirror for adjustment. Since the right side is farther from the driver, the right rearview mirror should be adjusted with the upper one-quarter and lower three-quarters, left one-quarter and right three-quarters (one-quarter area close to the car body), and the rear car door handle should be visible.
Adjusting the rearview mirror of the Magotan is actually quite simple. As someone who drives frequently, I know this car usually comes with manually adjustable mirrors. First, sit in the driver's seat, adjust your seating position to the normal driving posture, fasten your seatbelt, then gently push the edge or bottom of the mirror with your hand, slowly moving it up and down to cover the road behind. Move it left or right to ensure the view includes a full panorama of the area behind the vehicle, with minimal blind spots. When sitting upright, you should be able to see part of the sky behind the sunroof and a bit of the rear edge of the car. It's best to check it before every drive, as bumpy roads can cause it to shift. I've encountered situations where the mirror became loose and nearly obstructed my view of a potential rear-end collision, so I've developed a habit of adjusting it regularly. This not only enhances driving safety but also helps prevent accidents—for example, a clear rearview mirror on the highway allows for early braking warnings. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the internal mechanism. If you feel any resistance, consider seeking repairs or applying lubricant.
With years of experience in car repair, I know that the Taosun's mirror adjustment relies on manual fine-tuning. After getting in the car, sit firmly in the driver's seat, look straight ahead, and use your fingers to push the mirror frame left and right to find the optimal angle. Remember to adjust the mirror to reflect a full view of the rear window—usually, it's best when the side view doesn’t show your door handle. Safety comes first, so start the engine while adjusting and test whether the view covers all lanes. A common issue with mirrors is loose mounting brackets; applying a bit of Vaseline to the sliding tracks can prevent sticking. Also, keep the mirror surface clean, as rain or dust can blur the image. I recommend checking it monthly, especially before long trips, to ensure it stays firmly in place. Most issues can be handled yourself without spending money on a technician. Neglecting mirror checks while driving increases the risk of missing emergencies behind you.
Adjusting the rearview mirror while driving is crucial, and I always prioritize comfort when doing it myself. After settling into the Magotan driver's seat and adjusting the seat and steering wheel, I gently tap the mirror edges to tilt them up or down. The goal is to have the entire rear window within view, with left and right adjustments for a wide field of vision. Avoid setting it too high to prevent reflections from the sunroof. I often fine-tune while checking the rearview camera for assistance. Safety considerations: A clear rearview helps eliminate blind spots and reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. Regularly clean the mirror surface to prevent stains from affecting visibility, and use car wax for a lasting shine.
