Volkswagen New Lavida's rearview mirror angle adjustment is located on the inner side of the driver's door panel. The adjustment precautions and heating button are as follows: Rotate the button to the desired letter: You need to rotate the button to the left or right rearview mirror position before you can adjust the mirror in all directions. Around the knob, there is a "0" mark, which means idle. When the knob is aligned with idle, you don't have to worry about other settings being disturbed. Volkswagen Lavida Rearview Mirror Heating: The rearview mirror heating function is marked below the knob. Rotate the knob to this position to heat the rearview mirror. In freezing weather, the rearview mirror is prone to frost, making the heating function particularly important.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors on the new Lavida is quite simple. I always check and adjust them before driving. There's a knob marked with L and R on the driver's side door—turn it to L for the left mirror and R for the right. Press the four-way control button to move the mirror up, down, left, or right, positioning it so the rear wheel of the car is just visible, taking up about a quarter of the mirror's width. Avoid showing too much sky—about one-third is enough, or else the blind spot becomes dangerously large. The right mirror should be tilted slightly more downward to clearly see the curb when parking. The center position of the knob activates the heating function, which is especially useful in rainy or foggy conditions—just remember to turn it on for a few minutes, not too long. The high-end version also features an automatic tilting function when reversing; the mirror automatically angles downward to help you see the curb better.

I run a repair shop and have adjusted rearview mirrors for hundreds of new Lavida models. The key is a two-step process: first select left or right by turning the knob to the L or R position; then use the directional buttons to fine-tune the angle. It's best to adjust while seated in the normal driving position with your back firmly against the seat. The left mirror should show the vertical lines of your car body, while the right mirror should position the horizon at one-third of the mirror height. For frequent night driving, lower the right mirror angle by an additional 15 degrees to prevent glare. Recognize the icons on the new Lavida's knob - the heating function is marked with a wavy arrow, and the middle position is neutral. Remember to turn off the engine before adjusting to avoid burning out the motor. For higher trim models with memory function, locate the SET button on the driver's side door panel to save positions.

Adjusting rearview mirrors involves three key points: proper positioning, precise angles, and safety first. Sit in the driver's seat and locate the round control panel on the door. Rotate the switch to select either the left or right mirror. When adjusting the left mirror, ensure the car body occupies 1/4 of the view, while the right mirror should be positioned to see the rear wheels for maximum practicality. The automatic downward tilt of the right mirror when reversing is a blessing, allowing clear visibility of all curbs. The heating function in mid-range and higher models is particularly suitable for the rainy season in the south—just turn the knob to the red dot indicator. If you frequently carry passengers, remember to save the settings with the memory button on the door panel, so you don't have to readjust when switching drivers. The small blue tint on the edge of the mirror is an anti-glare coating, especially useful for nighttime highway driving.
