How to adjust the mirrors while driving a Volvo S90?
2 Answers
Electric adjustment of the rearview mirrors is accomplished through the motor inside the mirror. This function is operated via buttons inside the car, and prolonged use will not cause damage to the mirrors. After adjusting the driver's seat, the ratio of sky to ground in the mirror is 1:1, allowing the rearview mirror to provide the widest possible field of vision. In narrow sections of the road, this can help avoid scratches, improving the vehicle's passability, and also reducing the space needed for parking.
I remember when driving my Volvo S90, adjusting the mirrors while on the move wasn't actually difficult, but extra caution was needed since distraction could easily lead to accidents. There's a dedicated adjustment area on the door panel, usually featuring a selector switch marked L and R—press it to choose the left or right mirror, then use the adjacent joystick to gently push and adjust the angle. After trying a few times, I found it quite user-friendly, though I never fiddle with it on highways—slowing down to a safe stretch before making adjustments is wiser. It's best to set them up before departure; the S90's mirrors are smartly designed with anti-glare features, so they don't need frequent adjustments during normal driving. If you must adjust while driving, pick an open road and don't take your eyes off the road for too long.
