How to adjust the rearview mirror of the new Sagitar?

The knob for adjusting the rearview mirror is located on the driver's side door. Turn the knob to the L position to adjust the angle of the left mirror, and turn it to the R position to adjust the angle of the right mirror. Once adjusted to the desired position, rotate the knob back to the middle to deactivate the adjustment. Related details are as follows: 1. The rearview mirror has a field of view, which refers to the range that the mirror can reflect. In the industry, there is a concept of three elements of the field of view: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror; the size of the rearview mirror; and the curvature radius of the rearview mirror. 2. These three elements are interrelated. When the distance and size of the rearview mirror are the same, the smaller the curvature radius of the mirror, the larger the field of view it reflects. When the curvature radius is the same, the larger the size of the mirror, the larger the field of view it reflects. Additionally, the rearview mirror also has a reflectivity index. The higher the reflectivity, the clearer the image reflected by the mirror. The level of reflectivity is related to the reflective film material on the inner surface of the mirror.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, let me share three key points for adjusting the rearview mirrors on the new Sagitar: Sit upright and avoid leaning when adjusting. Use the knob near the driver's side door handle marked with L/R—turn to L for the left mirror and R for the right. Adjust the left mirror so that your car's body occupies just a quarter of the view, and position the right mirror to have the horizon in the center. Remember, pedestrians often dart out from blind spots; angling the mirrors outward by an extra 5 degrees can help reduce unseen motorcycles. After adjusting, test the electric folding button to ensure smooth operation. Also, using the heating function in rainy weather keeps the mirrors clear of water droplets for safer driving.
Adjusting the rearview mirrors is simple and can be done in three steps: First, start the vehicle and power it on (otherwise the buttons won't respond). With your left hand, locate the square adjustment button on the door panel. Align the middle horizontal line with the 'L' letter to begin adjusting the left mirror—just enough to see a small strip of the car's body in the mirror. Then, turn the knob to the 'R' letter for the right mirror, ensuring you can see the entire edge line of the road. Here's the key point! The right mirror should be tilted more than the left one; otherwise, you won't see the adjacent lane when changing lanes. After adjustment, remember to turn the knob back to the middle position to avoid accidental touches. If the mirrors suddenly change position, someone else might have used them—just press and hold the 'SET' button for three seconds to restore your preset angle.
