How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror Button of an Exam Car?
2 Answers
The adjustment button for the rearview mirror of an exam car is located on the inner side of the front door and can be adjusted in four directions: up, down, forward, and backward. Below are the relevant instructions for adjusting the rearview mirror: Adjustment Mnemonic: The mnemonic for adjusting the rearview mirror of an exam car is: "The door handle is at the intersection of the 'midpoint vertically and the one-third line on the car side'." This means dividing the rearview mirror into three parts horizontally and two parts vertically, with the door handle positioned at the intersection of the midpoint vertically and the one-third line on the car side. 2. Adjustment Standard: When adjusting forward and backward, the standard is that the car body should occupy one-fourth of the rearview mirror's area. 3. Precautions: When adjusting the rearview mirror, the driver should maintain the correct driving posture and perform the adjustment before driving. Adjusting the rearview mirror while driving is very dangerous. During adjustment, avoid touching the mirror surface with your hand.
I remember when I took my driver's license test for the first time, I was particularly nervous about adjusting the rearview mirror buttons. The test cars usually have a small switch panel near the rear door handle with left and right arrow buttons. Here's how I did it: First, sit up straight, press the left button to move the left mirror up or down, aiming to clearly see the rear wheel tire in the mirror to avoid blind spots during the test. Adjusting the right mirror is the same—press the right button to move it. The buttons respond with a light push, so don't apply too much force to avoid damage. Before the test, it's best to have the instructor teach you how to set the mirrors to the standard position—ensuring the road behind the car is fully visible without large blank areas. This makes driving safer and reduces test anxiety. With a few more practices, it becomes easier—just remember to adjust while parked to avoid distractions.
