How to adjust the rearview mirror of Audi A6?
3 Answers
Adjust using the electric buttons inside the car for both left and right rearview mirrors. Place the horizon in the middle and the ear on the left side. Position the horizon at the center line of the rearview mirror, adjusting the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror image. Place the horizon at the 2/3 position of the rearview mirror, adjusting the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror image.
I remember when I first bought my Audi A6, adjusting the mirrors was a crucial step. Before driving, always sit upright to find the right position. There's a small round button on the door—turn it left or right to select the mirror, then use the joystick to push it up, down, left, or right to adjust the mirror. I usually test it in a parking lot: adjust the left mirror so that you can just see a corner of your car's door handle, but mainly focus on the edge of the lane behind you. The right mirror is similar, covering the blind spot on the right rear side. Safe driving shouldn’t overlook this—poorly adjusted mirrors can lead to accidents, like not seeing a car next to you when changing lanes. Audi cars also come with folding and heating functions, which are very practical in winter to prevent freezing. Regularly check to ensure the mirrors aren’t misaligned, as it affects visibility. For beginners, I recommend practicing in an open area and taking your time to adjust them properly—only then will driving feel comfortable and safe.
From a technical perspective, the mirror adjustment design of the Audi A6 is quite user-friendly. The controller is typically located on the driver's side door. You rotate the knob to select L or R, corresponding to the left or right mirror, and then precisely adjust the mirror angle by pushing the control lever. The key is to ensure you operate it after fixing your seating position, with the mirror angle providing a clear view of the road behind without showing too much of your own car. I often advise friends: first adjust the rearview mirror to confirm lane conditions, then use the side mirrors to reduce blind spots. Some models come with power-folding mirrors, which are handy in rainy weather to avoid obstacles. After adjustment, test the view by reversing or driving at low speed to avoid reflection issues at night. Remember to adjust only when unlocked to prevent damaging components by forcing them.
