How to Adjust the Rearview Mirrors of a Skoda Octavia?
2 Answers
Skoda Octavia rearview mirrors are adjusted by controlling the adjustment knob. Rotate the knob to align the indicator point with L (left rearview mirror) or R (right rearview mirror), then move the knob up, down, left, or right to adjust. It is recommended that the body of the car occupies one-fourth of the field of view in both side mirrors. The horizon in the left rearview mirror should be positioned at the horizontal midpoint, while in the right rearview mirror, it should be at two-thirds of the height. The Skoda Octavia is a compact sedan with a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback body structure. The car measures 4659 mm in length, 1814 mm in width, and 1460 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686 mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters and a trunk capacity ranging from 590 to 1580 liters.
I've been driving the Octavia for five years, adjusting the mirrors is quite simple. There's a round knob on the driver's door handle, just turn it to adjust. First, twist it to the left to align with L, then move the knob up, down, left, or right, and the left mirror will follow; then twist to R to adjust the right mirror. Remember to power on the car when adjusting, otherwise the mirrors won't move. For newer models with electric folding function, press the round knob all the way down, and the mirrors will fold automatically. Don't panic if the mirror fogs up on rainy days, the heating switch is on the air conditioning panel, just press the fan-shaped button with the heat symbol to turn it on. After adjusting, try to align the edge of the mirror just with your door handle, this gives the safest view.
