How to Adjust the Rearview Mirrors on a Škoda?
2 Answers
First, check if the angle of the vehicle's rearview mirrors is appropriate from the driver's seat, adjusting to your comfortable driving position. Then, rotate the knob to "L" to select the left rearview mirror for adjustment. Next, rotate the knob to "R" to select the right rearview mirror for adjustment. Rotate the knob to "0" to turn off the rearview mirror adjustment function. Finally, rotate the knob to the lower left corner for electric folding of the vehicle's rearview mirrors. Press the knob in different directions according to your adjustment needs for various angles.
Adjusting Skoda's rearview mirrors is actually super easy. I drive a Skoda Octavia, and there's an electric button panel on the inner side of the door, usually marked with L and R for the left and right mirrors. Press the selector button, then use the directional keys to move the mirror angle up, down, left, or right. After settling into the driver's seat, I first adjust the seat height and distance to ensure a comfortable view. Then, adjust the mirrors so that the road behind and a bit of the car body are clearly visible, with the car body occupying about 10% of the view to avoid blind spots. If unsure while driving, make slight adjustments when parked, especially during night or rainy conditions when visibility is poor. Regularly check for any looseness in the mirrors, and in winter, use the heating button to prevent fogging. In short, it takes just a few seconds to set up, significantly improving driving safety. Make it a habit to adjust before driving to prevent accidents.
