How to adjust the rearview mirror of the Magotan?

The adjustment method for the Magotan's rearview mirror is: 1. Adjust the central rearview mirror so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts to the right ear of the owner's image in the mirror; 2. Adjust the left rearview mirror so that the distant horizon is placed in the center, and the left and right positions are adjusted so that the body occupies a quarter of the mirror's range; 3. When adjusting the upper and lower positions of the right rearview mirror, it should occupy two-thirds of the mirror's surface. The Magotan's body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, trunk capacity 533l, and the body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan.
Adjusting the rearview mirrors on my Magotan mainly involves these steps: First, sit in the driver's seat and adjust to your normal driving posture, so the positioning will be accurate. Second, press the round control button on the door panel, which has L/R markings—turn it to L to adjust the left mirror and to R for the right. Third, push the control button directly up, down, left, or right, and the mirror will move accordingly. For the left side, I usually adjust it so that the rear door handle is visible at the lower-left corner of the mirror, with the car body occupying 1/3 and the road occupying 2/3. For the right side, I tilt it downward a bit more to clearly see the curb and parking lines. After each adjustment, remember to turn the knob back to the 0 position, or it may affect the mirror heating function. If wind noise becomes loud when driving above 80 km/h on the highway, you can slightly angle both mirrors inward. The newer Magotan models also have an automatic downward tilt feature when reversing—the right mirror tilts down in R gear to help check the tire position, which is quite practical.
I have my own method for adjusting the rearview mirrors: Walk around the car before getting in to check if the mirrors are properly positioned, and adjust them if they're misaligned. The electric adjustment knob for the Magotan is located on the left door armrest—it's a small rotary knob with directional arrows. To adjust the left mirror, turn the knob to 'L' and push the button to ensure all four corners are visible: the top-left corner shows the sky, the bottom-left corner shows the car body, the bottom-right corner shows the ground, and the top-right corner shows oncoming traffic from behind. The right mirror needs to be deliberately angled downward toward the road; otherwise, you won't see the curb when reversing. Remember to fix the seat position before adjusting the mirrors—if you slouch while driving, the mirror adjustments will be useless. The mirror heating function is especially useful in winter; turn the knob to the red dot symbol and press it during rainy or foggy weather to defog the mirrors in about ten minutes. Once, my wife folded both mirrors after driving, making me think the motors were broken.
