How to adjust the Q5 rearview mirror?
2 Answers
You can adjust it using the electric buttons inside the car, which are located on the left side of the steering wheel, allowing adjustment of both left and right rearview mirrors. Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts to the right ear of the image in the mirror, and place the up and down positions in the center of the mirror. When handling the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's range. For the right rearview mirror, when adjusting the up and down positions, leave a larger ground area, accounting for about 2/3 of the mirror.
I always prioritize safety, especially when it comes to adjusting the rearview mirrors. Once in the car, I first adjust the seat to a comfortable position, ensuring my back is firmly against the seat and my head and vision are naturally aligned. Next, I adjust the interior rearview mirror, tilting it to clearly display the entire rear window in the mirror, avoiding any blind spots. Then, I move on to the side mirrors—I angle the left mirror to show a slight portion of the car body and the road behind, and the right mirror similarly, reducing risks when changing lanes. I perform these adjustments in a parking lot or when there are no cars around, never while driving, as it’s too dangerous. Using the mirror control buttons, I make gradual adjustments and stop once I see the reference points of the car body. Regular checks are essential, as bumps or rainy conditions might cause misalignment. If the car has memory functions, I save my personal settings for convenience next time. This small habit has helped me avoid accidents—safe driving starts with these details.
