2 Answers
The method to adjust the rearview mirror on Golf 7 is: 1. Open the car door and you can see the rearview mirror adjustment located above the door handle; 2. Turn the knob to 'L' to adjust the direction and angle of the left rearview mirror; 3. Turn the knob to 'R' to adjust the direction and angle of the right rearview mirror; 4. Press the knob in different directions (up, down, left, right), and the rearview mirror lens will adjust accordingly. The Golf 7 is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4255mm, width 1799mm, height 1452mm, wheelbase 2637mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters.
As a long-time owner, adjusting the Golf 7's mirrors starts with the door panel controls. Locate the small knob next to the left window switch—turn it to 'L' for the left mirror and 'R' for the right, then use the joystick to move the mirror up, down, left, or right. When adjusting, ensure you have a full view of the rear wheels and both sides of the road to prevent blind-spot accidents. The Golf 7 mirrors also feature a heating function—just press the relevant button on the AC panel, which is super handy for defogging in winter. I often fine-tune them while parking and check for dirt on the mirrors that might obstruct visibility. If the angle keeps shifting, it might be a seat memory sync issue—just reset it. Overall, don’t rush—taking time to adjust them properly enhances driving safety and comfort. The car’s design is quite thoughtful.
