2 Answers
Method to adjust the rearview mirror on an Accord: Ensure the vehicle is in the power-on state, then press the rearview mirror adjustment button on the driver's side door to adjust the exterior mirrors. The Accord has a body length, width, and height of 4893mm, 1862mm, and 1449mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension employing a multi-link independent suspension. The Accord is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 143kW and a peak torque of 260Nm. Additionally, the engine incorporates direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
Adjusting the Accord's rearview mirrors is actually quite simple, and I check them every day before driving. On the driver's side door panel, you'll find a control module with left/right selection buttons and a joystick. First, press the L button for the left mirror or the R button for the right mirror, then gently move the joystick up, down, left, or right to adjust the viewing angle until you can clearly see the rear wheel position. Once adjusted, press the switch again to lock it in place. Remember, it's safest to adjust while parked—avoid distractions while driving. I recommend that beginners practice a few times and have someone outside the car verify the positioning, as incorrect mirror angles can increase blind spots and affect lane-changing decisions. Additionally, if the mirrors have a heating function (older models may not), defrosting in winter is convenient—just press the corresponding button. In short, habitual adjustments make driving more reassuring, especially in congested urban areas.
