The steps to adjust the rearview mirror of Lavida are: 1. Turn the adjustment knob to the L position, and move the knob back and forth or left and right to start adjusting the left rearview mirror of the car; 2. Adjust the horizon of the left rearview mirror to the center of the mirror, with the car body occupying one-fourth of the right side of the left rearview mirror, then turn the knob to the R position to start adjusting the right rearview mirror; 3. Adjust the horizon of the right rearview mirror to two-thirds of the height of the mirror, with the car body occupying one-fourth of the left side of the right rearview mirror, then turn the knob to the 0 position to complete the adjustment. The length, width, and height of Lavida are 4600 mm, 1700 mm, and 1500 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. In terms of appearance, the front face design of Lavida is significantly different from previous A-class cars under the Volkswagen brand, especially its teardrop-shaped headlight design, which is very unique.
Adjusting the mirrors on the Lavida is actually quite simple. After sitting in the driver's seat, don't rush to start the engine—sit upright and use the square adjustment button on the door panel. Rotate the left knob to switch between the left and right mirrors. Once selected, push it up, down, left, or right to adjust the angle. The key is to position the mirror so that your car's body occupies about a quarter of the mirror's surface, ensuring a clear view of both the rear and side when changing lanes. For the right mirror, position the horizon line at the top third of the mirror for optimal visibility of approaching vehicles without ground glare. After adjusting, test the view a few times to ensure trailing cars appear fully in the center. Don’t worry about losing your settings—the mirrors automatically fold when locking the car.
When adjusting the Lavida's rearview mirrors, I prefer to first ensure the seat position is comfortable before starting. With my left hand on the door panel's adjustment control, I use the rotary knob to select either the left or right mirror, then gently push the joystick to fine-tune the angle. For the left mirror, I position it so the front door handle appears precisely at the lower right corner of the mirror, providing a ground reference point when reversing. The right mirror is set at a slightly wider angle, with the sky occupying one-third and the road two-thirds of the view for broader visibility. If passengers are seated in the rear, remember to recheck the angles. The most noticeable improvement after adjustment is the significant reduction in blind spots during lane changes, especially at highway speeds where you can observe more complete trajectories of vehicles approaching from the side and rear.
