Ford Focus rearview mirror adjustment method: The rearview mirror adjustment controls are located on the door armrest. After pressing the selection control button, you can adjust the rearview mirror using the directional control buttons. The Ford Focus has a length of 4378mm, width of 1810mm, height of 1468mm, and a wheelbase of 2705mm. In terms of exterior design, this vehicle adopts a new family design with sharp-looking LED headlights and eye-catching L-shaped daytime running lights. The front end of the hatchback version is basically the same as the sedan version, but more compact and agile. The rear end appears fuller compared to the current model, featuring newly designed LED taillights with highly noticeable display effects. The new car is equipped with dual-tone 18-inch wheels, a sporty bumper, and a rear spoiler, exuding vitality that aligns with young people's aesthetics and delivers a strong sense of sportiness.
I've been driving a Focus for three years. Adjusting the rearview mirrors starts with setting the correct driving posture. Turn on the power without starting the engine (some models require ignition), and locate the round button marked with L and R on the door panel—that's the control. Press L to adjust the left mirror: Lean your head against the window and adjust the mirror until you can just see a bit of your car's rear door handle. This gives you a clear view of the rear wheel position. The same principle applies when pressing R to adjust the right mirror, but tilt your head slightly toward the center. Remember to adjust while seated in your usual driving position—don't crane your neck. After adjusting, test the clarity of the curb position when reversing. This angle is the most practical for both driving and parking. Every month when I wash my car, I wipe the mirrors and fine-tune the angle—it's even more important than the dashcam lens.
