The adjustment method for the Golf's rearview mirror: 1. Locate the electric adjustment button on the left door. 2. To adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror, rotate the white dot on the adjustment knob to the L position.

Lift the knob upwards to change the rearview mirror's viewing angle upwards, press the knob downwards to change the viewing angle downwards, and move the knob left or right accordingly. 4.

Adjusting the mirrors on a Golf is truly a matter of safety. Before sitting in the driver's seat, it's crucial to ensure the seat is adjusted to the most comfortable position, as different sitting postures change your viewing angle. Then, locate the round button or lever on the door panel—its exact position may vary slightly depending on the model—and gently push it with your thumb to adjust the mirrors left, right, up, or down. The ideal position is when the mirror's field of view allows you to just catch a glimpse of the rear wheels of the car, but not too much of the car body, otherwise, blind spots increase. Always check before driving: ensure you can see the side and rear vehicles clearly without any blind spots, giving you peace of mind when turning. Complex road conditions make poorly adjusted mirrors a significant risk for accidents. Taking two minutes to adjust them properly can make driving much safer. Don't forget to regularly clean the mirrors to prevent smudges—this small act can be lifesaving.
