2 Answers
Method to adjust the rearview mirror of Volkswagen Lavida: The rearview mirror adjustment knob is located on the door armrest. The adjustment method is to align the rearview mirror parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the center of the mirror, occupying half of the mirror's height. The mirror surface should be slightly tilted towards the driver to ensure clear visibility of approaching vehicles from behind. The Volkswagen Lavida is the first independently developed A-segment car by Shanghai Volkswagen. Its body dimensions are 4562mm in length, 1793mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm. The Volkswagen Lavida offers two powertrain versions: one is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6AT or 5MT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 113Ps and a peak torque of 145Nm; the other is a 1.4T turbocharged engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, producing a maximum power of 150Ps and a peak torque of 250Nm.
Adjusting the rearview mirrors on a Volkswagen Lavida is actually quite simple. Over my years of driving, I've picked up a few tricks. First, locate the mirror adjustment knob on the driver's side door, positioned next to the window controls with L and R markings. After powering on the vehicle, rotate the knob to select either the left or right mirror, then use the directional buttons to move the mirror up, down, left, or right until you're satisfied with the position. I usually adjust mine to just see the rear wheel of the car and the distant road conditions, which minimizes blind spots for better safety. A common oversight for beginners is not test-driving after adjustment to ensure the mirrors don't shake when parked, preventing blurred vision while driving. Also, if it's raining or the mirrors are dirty, remember to clean them first to avoid inaccurate adjustments. Developing a habit of regular checks can enhance driving safety, preventing delayed reactions in unexpected situations.
