How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror of a Corolla?
2 Answers
To adjust the rearview mirror of a Corolla, move the mirror adjustment switch to the L or R position. The Corolla is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 185 Nm. The Corolla features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and an E-type multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years, and adjusting the rearview mirrors has become a little habit of mine. The first thing I do when I get into the driver's seat is to adjust the seat to a comfortable position, then press the adjustment button on the door panel: the interior rearview mirror should face the center of the rear window for a clear view of the road behind; the angle of the exterior mirrors is set so that I can just barely see the rear edge of my own car, minimizing blind spots and making lane changes safer. Some Corolla models have electric adjustments, but mine has a manual knob version—just a few twists and it's done. I remember once hitting the road without proper adjustments and nearly scraping the car next to me, so now I always adjust while parked to ensure maximum visibility. Developing this habit boosts driving confidence, especially during traffic jams or night driving when I rely on it even more.
