How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror of the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
The method for adjusting the rearview mirror of the Tiguan L is as follows: 1. Left rearview mirror: Position the distant horizon in the center, with the car body occupying one-fourth of the mirror surface; 2. Right rearview mirror: Place the horizon at two-thirds of the position, with the edge of the car body occupying one-fourth of the mirror surface; 3. Interior rearview mirror: Ensure the rearview mirror can see through the rear window. Taking the 2021 Tiguan L Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Smart Edition as an example, it is a mid-size SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, a wheelbase of 2791mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60l.
To adjust the rearview mirrors on the Tiguan L, I usually start by adjusting the driver's seat position first after sitting down to ensure a comfortable driving position before moving on to the mirrors. There are dedicated adjustment buttons on the door handle, typically round or with a cross-key design, labeled 'L' on the left and 'R' on the right. Toggle to the left to adjust the left mirror and to the right for the right mirror accordingly. Use the directional keys to move the mirror surface up, down, left, or right. When adjusting, don’t rush—make small tweaks while checking the rear view until you can clearly see the adjacent lane and the blind spot near the rear of the car. During rain or strong glare, I slightly increase the angle to avoid blurred vision. Though it seems minor, it’s crucial for safety. After adjusting, I always drive a short distance to test the effect. Regular maintenance includes wiping the mirror surface to keep it clean. Newer models might even come with heating or memory functions, which are quite convenient. Remember, never adjust while driving—always stop safely before making any changes.
