How to adjust the rearview mirror of Lavida?
2 Answers
There is an electric rearview mirror adjustment button on the driver's door of the Volkswagen Lavida. The specific operations are as follows: 1. First, select whether to adjust the left or right rearview mirror. The white marking line on the knob pointing to L indicates adjusting the left rearview mirror. The white marking line pointing to R indicates adjusting the right rearview mirror. 2. Then move the knob up, down, left, or right to adjust the appropriate rearview angle. 3. Twist upward: Tilt the rearview mirror upward to see higher scenery. 4. Twist downward: Tilt the rearview mirror downward to see lower scenery. 5. Twist left: Expand the rearview mirror outward to see a wider view. 6. Twist right: Contract the rearview mirror inward to see a narrower view.
After driving the Lavida for so many years, I usually adjust the rearview mirrors before setting off. The round knob on the driver's door panel is the adjustment switch—rotate it to L for the left mirror and R for the right mirror. Press and hold the knob while pushing it up, down, left, or right to move the mirror angle. My experience is to position the car body to occupy one-fourth of the left mirror and ensure the right mirror shows a bit of the wheel. After adjusting, remember to return the knob to the neutral position to avoid accidental touches. Recently, while adjusting the mirrors for my wife's car, I noticed that the position might differ across different model years of the Lavida—older models have it near the door handle, while newer ones integrate it near the window control area. It’s quite convenient to adjust it yourself, but if you can’t find the button, just check the manual.
