How to Adjust the MG 5 Rearview Mirrors?
3 Answers
Some models of the MG 5 are equipped with manually foldable exterior rearview mirrors. Simply fold them toward the rear of the car by hand. For vehicles equipped with electrically foldable exterior rearview mirrors, rotate the knob to the middle position and push it downward, and the exterior rearview mirrors will automatically fold. To adjust the angle of the exterior rearview mirror, rotate the knob to select the left or right mirror, then move the knob to adjust the mirror's position. Note that both the electric adjustment of the mirror and the electric folding of the exterior rearview mirrors are operated via electric switches. Manual operation may cause malfunctions in the related equipment.
I've been driving the MG5 for two years now, so I'm quite familiar with adjusting the mirrors. After getting in the car, sit upright and don't rush to start. The interior rearview mirror should provide a clear view of the entire rear window without being tilted. For the two exterior mirrors, there's a control panel by the door—the buttons are straightforward: left button for the left mirror, right button for the right mirror. Press the button to rotate the mirror until only a small edge of the car body is visible, with the horizon at the center line. This helps reduce blind spots. Always take a few minutes to adjust them before driving. At night, properly adjusted mirrors reduce glare, making driving safer. Regularly clean the mirror surfaces to prevent dust from obstructing your view. New drivers often adjust their seats frequently, so once you've set your seating position, maintain that posture to avoid misalignment.
With years of experience as a driving instructor, adjusting rearview mirrors is a must-learn lesson for beginners. After getting in the car and sitting comfortably in a natural position, first adjust the interior mirror to cover the rear window area. Use the electric buttons on the door panel to adjust the side mirrors, rotating them so that the car body occupies only about 20% of the view, leaving more space to observe traffic and pedestrians behind. The MG5's control design is reasonable and straightforward to operate. After adjustment, test for blind spots in the lane before driving. Combining rearview mirrors with the camera system can enhance driving safety. It is recommended to ensure that visibility is not obstructed during rain or fog each time you adjust them.
