How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror on the Lavida?
2 Answers
Here are the specific methods for adjusting the rearview mirrors on the Lavida: 1. Central rearview mirror. The correct adjustment method is to align the mirror parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the center of the mirror, occupying 1/2 of the mirror's height. The mirror should be slightly tilted towards the driver to clearly see vehicles approaching from behind. 2. Left rearview mirror. The horizon should appear at the center 1/2 of the mirror, with the car body occupying 1/4 of the mirror's surface. It's important to note that the reflection of the car body should not be too little, as it would make it difficult to observe the actual situation of vehicles closely following behind, nor too much, as it would obstruct the view of vehicles in other lanes. 3. Right rearview mirror. Since it's on the right side, the driver's blind spot is larger, so the adjustment angle differs from the left rearview mirror. In this case, adjust the horizon to occupy 2/3 of the right rearview mirror, with the car body reflection also occupying 1/4.
Last time I drove my friend's Volkswagen Lavida, adjusting the mirrors was super easy! Usually, there's a knob or lever near the window switches on the driver's side door. First, turn the knob to L for the left mirror or R for the right mirror, then gently push it up, down, left, or right, and the mirror will move accordingly. Make sure to adjust while parked to avoid distractions while driving; it's best to adjust in your normal driving position to ensure the mirror shows the road behind and a bit of the car's edge, reducing blind spots. After adjusting, test it by reversing or changing lanes to confirm the view is good. The high-end Lavida models even come with a heating function, which is super handy on rainy days—just press a button to avoid foggy mirrors. Overall, the design is thoughtful, and even beginners can get the hang of it quickly. Remember to check for mirror wear during regular maintenance.
