How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror of the Cavalier?

[OscarFitz]

Here are the methods for adjusting the rearview mirror of the Cavalier: 1. The rearview mirror adjustment button is located on the driver's side door panel. Rotate the button to the L position, then move it up, down, left, or right to adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror. 2. Rotate the button to the R position, then move it up, down, left, or right to adjust the angle of the right rearview mirror. Once adjusted to the desired position, rotate the button to the middle to turn off the adjustment. Here are some related details: 1. When adjusting the left rearview mirror of the Cavalier, use the horizon as a reference. Adjust the horizontal line of the rearview mirror so that the "sky" and "ground" each occupy half of the mirror. For the left and right adjustment, position the car body to occupy about 1/4 of the mirror's surface. 2. When adjusting the right rearview mirror, extra attention is needed due to the driver's limited viewing angle. It is advisable to reduce the visible space occupied by the sky. Typically, use the horizon as the baseline, with the sky occupying 1/4 of the space and the ground occupying 3/4. The car body should occupy 1/4 of the space, similar to the left side. However, during reversing or parallel parking, due to the limited viewing angle on the right side, it may be necessary to readjust the rearview mirror to avoid accidents.

Last time I helped my friend adjust the rearview mirror on his Cavalier, it was actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat and locate the round control knob on the left door armrest, marked with L and R in the middle. To adjust the left mirror, turn it to the L position, and for the right mirror, turn it to R. Then, press and hold the knob while gently pushing it up, down, left, or right—the mirror will move accordingly. The key is to position it so you can see the rear lane and a bit of your own car body; don’t set it too high or you’ll just see the sky. After adjusting, remember to return the knob to the neutral position. My friend forgot to reset it the first time, and the automatic folding feature didn’t work in the rain. It’s best to test-drive slowly in a parking lot to check blind spots afterward.
