How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror of a Sagitar?
3 Answers
The method to adjust the rearview mirror of a Sagitar is: 1. Rotate the button to the 'L' position, then move the button left or right to adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror; 2. Rotate the button to the 'R' position, then move the button left or right to adjust the angle of the right rearview mirror; 3. After adjustment, rotate the button back to the middle position. Types of rearview mirrors include: interior rearview mirror, exterior rearview mirror, and under-mirror. The function of the rearview mirror is to facilitate the driver's observation of the rear situation and prevent traffic accidents. Taking the 2021 Fashion Smart Connect Edition Sagitar as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and trunk capacity 553L.
Adjusting the rearview mirrors on the Sagitar is quite straightforward. The key is to first sit in the driver's seat and adjust the seating position for comfort, ensuring the mirror angles aren't off. The adjustment knob on the inner door panel is clearly marked, usually with L and R labels. Rotate it to select the left or right mirror, then continue turning the knob to adjust the direction up, down, left, or right. I recommend setting the left mirror to show the center of the distant road and a slight outline of the car's rear, with the horizon right in the middle of the mirror. The right mirror should be angled toward the rear side of the road to minimize blind spots. Safety is crucial—when I first drove the Sagitar, I was a bit careless and nearly scraped a pillar while reversing. Now, I always double-check the mirrors before driving. Also, remember to wipe off dust and frost from the mirrors in winter to maintain clear visibility. This method works for other Volkswagen models too—it's easy to get the hang of and makes driving much safer once it becomes a habit.
Having driven the Sagitar for several years, adjusting the rearview mirrors is a small skill. Sit in the seat and fix your posture, see the control knob on the door? Gently turn that round knob to the L or R position to start adjusting the mirror. Adjust the left angle until you can clearly see the vehicles behind and the ground lines, and do the same for the right side but pay extra attention to the side of the car. Personally, I make it a habit to adjust the mirrors right after starting the car to minimize blind spots. Once, a friend borrowed the car and messed with the mirrors, so I had to readjust them—simple and straightforward is best. Remember not to set them too high or too low, as it affects visibility. Regular maintenance, like adding lubricant to the mirror tracks, also helps for smoother operation.
