How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror Button Switch?
2 Answers
The rearview mirror button is generally located on the left-hand side armrest in the cockpit. Turn the knob to the left icon to adjust the left rearview mirror; adjust the left rearview mirror so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the entire mirror. Turn the knob to the right icon to adjust the right rearview mirror; adjust the right rearview mirror so that the road occupies two-thirds of the mirror.
Adjusting the rearview mirror buttons is actually quite simple. I've been doing it this way myself for over a decade of driving. First, sit in the driver's seat and adjust the seat position to maintain a normal driving posture. Then locate the buttons, usually on the center console or door, marked L and R for left and right mirrors. Press to select the mirror you want to adjust, then push the adjacent cross-shaped control lever to move the mirror up, down, left, or right. Gradually test different angles until you can clearly see the entire road behind without any blind spots. Remember to set it before driving and avoid moving it—some car models allow adjustments while driving, but safety comes first. If I can't get it right after a few tries, I pull over to recalibrate. With the correct rearview mirror angle, reversing and lane changing become much safer.
