How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror on the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Tiguan L's method to adjust the rearview mirror is: 1. Locate the button below the left armrest of the driver's seat; 2. 'L' is for the right rearview mirror, 'R' is for the left rearview mirror; 3. Press the button to adjust up and down. The Tiguan L is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4712 mm, width 1839 mm, height 1673 mm, wheelbase 2791 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Tiguan L is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Its drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
I think the key to adjusting the mirrors on SUVs like the Tiguan L is to maximize the field of view. First, adjust the seat to a comfortable position—if your posture is off, the mirrors will never feel right. The round knob on the driver’s door panel with the L and R markings is the control. Turn it to the L position to adjust the left mirror, and press the edges of the knob to move the mirror up, down, left, or right. I prefer setting the left mirror so that the side of the car is just out of view, minimizing blind spots. The right mirror should be adjusted lower, with the rear door handle appearing in the bottom-right corner—this makes judging curbs while reversing much more accurate. After adjusting, take it for a high-speed test drive to see if you can spot approaching cars in the mirrors without turning your head during lane changes.
