How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror on a Cruze?
2 Answers
The rearview mirror adjustment is located next to the door switch. Press the selection control button to adjust the rearview mirror. Adjust the rearview mirror to be parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the 1/2 point of the mirror. This ensures a clear view of the road conditions behind. The reflection of the car body should not be too minimal, as it may obscure the actual situation of vehicles behind; nor should it be excessive, as it may block the view of other vehicles. Adjust the horizon to the 2/3 position of the right rearview mirror, with the car body reflection occupying 1/4 of the mirror.
As a frequent driver of the Chevrolet Cruze, I'd like to share some tips on adjusting the rearview mirrors. The Cruze's mirror adjustment button is usually located on the driver's side door, featuring a small joystick or directional pad. First, settle into your driving position and adjust the seat for comfort. Then, use your finger to push the control lever to the left to select the left mirror, and move the joystick up, down, left, or right to adjust the mirror angle. Make sure to position the mirror so you can see part of your car's body and the road behind you, minimizing blind spots. Remember to adjust before driving or when stationary—never fiddle with it while the car is moving. It's also a good habit to regularly check if the mirrors are loose or fogged up, as I've experienced several misjudgments that compromised safety. I recommend getting a small rearview mirror accessory to help prevent glare from headlights at night. The whole process is simple and practical, and with a bit of practice, it'll become second nature.
