How to adjust the rearview mirror buttons for Subject 2?

Subject 2 rearview mirror adjustment method is: 1. Left rearview mirror adjustment: Divide the left rearview mirror into three equal parts horizontally and vertically. The door handle should be positioned at the intersection of the vertical midpoint and the one-third line closest to the car. 2. Right rearview mirror adjustment: Divide the right rearview mirror into three equal parts horizontally and two equal parts vertically. The door handle should be positioned at the intersection of the vertical midpoint and the one-third line closest to the car. Additional information: The functions of rearview mirrors are: 1. Observing rear road conditions. When driving in China, you often need to change lanes based on road conditions. Before changing lanes, first turn on the turn signal, then observe the situation of vehicles behind you through the interior rearview mirror, and change lanes only after confirming safety. 2. Checking the rearview mirror during emergency braking. When there is an urgent situation ahead requiring emergency braking, observing the center rearview mirror can inform you if there is a vehicle following too closely behind. This allows you to appropriately ease the braking based on the distance ahead to avoid a rear-end collision.

When I first started learning to drive, adjusting the rearview mirrors for Subject 2 was a crucial step. The buttons are usually located on the driver's door panel or the center console, with options for left, right, and the interior mirror. First, sit properly in the driving position without moving your body, and keep your eyes looking straight ahead. Then press the corresponding button, such as the right mirror button, and use the adjacent joystick to slowly adjust the mirror up, down, left, or right—the goal is to see the right rear wheel and the ground markings. This helps you park accurately during the slope fixed-point parking test. If the view is too narrow, try tilting your head slightly, but avoid moving the seat excessively. During my first test, I missed the reference points because the mirrors weren’t adjusted properly. Since then, I’ve made it a habit to calibrate them before every practice session, and now parallel parking has become much easier. Remember to operate the buttons gently—don’t rush. With a few tries, you’ll get used to it. Before the test, practice repeatedly on the driving school’s car to ensure you’re familiar with the feel.

As an experienced instructor who has taught many students, adjusting the rearview mirrors for Subject 2 should never be taken lightly. In terms of button design, they are mostly electronic, with a control area located on the inner side of the main door. When adjusting, sit upright and look straight ahead, select the left mirror button and then toggle the joystick: adjust until about one-third of the left rear wheel is clearly visible in the mirror, and do the same for the right side. The interior mirror should be aligned directly with the rear. The key point for the test is that precise distance judgment is required when reversing into the garage, so once the buttons are adjusted to the right position, you can avoid the car body crossing the line. Many people make the mistake of adjusting with incorrect sitting postures, leading to visual deviations during the test; it is recommended to spend an extra two minutes practicing and get used to the button operations. From a safety perspective, this is not just about the test—poorly adjusted mirrors in daily driving increase blind spots and the risk of accidents. Keep practicing, familiarize yourself with the button feel, and passing Subject 2 will come naturally.

I always remind myself to adjust the rearview mirrors when driving. The buttons are usually near the steering wheel or on the door. Press them to select the mirror direction and adjust. After settling into your seat, slowly turn the knob to show a small portion of the car body and the ground in both mirrors. During the test, just make sure you can see the rear wheel position. Avoid setting them too high or too low—getting the car body position right makes parking easier. This trick is especially helpful for the slope parking in Subject 2 of the driving test. The button operation is simple, but it takes practice. Also, keep your seat settings consistent to avoid readjusting every time. In daily driving, clear mirrors contribute to safer driving.
