2 Answers
On the interior of the left front door, there is a round button for adjustment. Below is an introduction to adjusting the rearview mirror on a Passat: 1. The knob next to the button is labeled with L and R. Rotate the knob to L to adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror. 2. Rotate the knob to R to adjust the angle of the right rearview mirror. 3. Rotate the knob to 0 to adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror. Additional Information: 1. Rearview mirror adjustment is to see the ground markings, avoid crossing lines, and observe the relative position between the car body and the parking lines to steer in time. 2. Before adjusting the rearview mirror, you must first adjust the vehicle seat and steering wheel position.
Adjusting the Passat's mirrors is actually quite convenient, mainly done through the car's electric buttons. Having driven a Passat for several years, I'm used to this method: sit in the driver's seat, find a small panel on the door with left/right selection keys and a four-way joystick. First, select the left or right mirror, then push or pull the joystick to adjust the angle. Take your time while adjusting to ensure you can see a bit of the rear wheel outline while covering the rear road to minimize blind spots. The safety angle is crucial—check it before switching drivers or long trips to avoid misalignment and poor visibility. Doing this while parked is safest; after adjusting, test it by turning or reversing to confirm comfortable visibility. Remember, a good position makes driving more reassuring.
