How to Adjust the Rearview Mirrors on the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Tiguan L rearview mirror adjustment method is as follows: 1. Adjust the seating position: Under normal driving conditions, the driver should not be visible in the central rearview mirror. For the vertical position, align the distant horizon to the center of the mirror. 2. Left side mirror adjustment: Position the horizon at the midline of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the vehicle body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 3. Since the driver's seat is on the left side, visibility of the right side of the vehicle is less convenient, and for roadside parking needs, the right side mirror should have more ground area visible, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror's surface. For the horizontal position, adjust so the vehicle body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. 4. During normal driving, without turning the head and only moving the eyes, the driver can see approximately 200 degrees ahead, with about 160 degrees remaining out of sight. The left, right, and central rearview mirrors provide an additional 60 degrees of visibility.
Adjusting the rearview mirrors on the Tiguan L is actually quite simple, and I have my own preferred method. Before driving, sit up straight to ensure the driver's seat is comfortable, as posture is crucial for visibility. Then, locate the button panel on the door—there's a small switch marked L and R, where L adjusts the left mirror and R adjusts the right. Press the corresponding button, then use the joystick to move the mirror up, down, left, or right. Adjust the left mirror to show a bit of the rear corner of the car and the road in the distance, while the right mirror should be slightly higher to cover blind spots. In winter or rainy weather, remember to use the heating function to prevent fogging—the button is nearby. Make it a habit to regularly check if the mirrors are loose and wipe the mirror surface when washing the car. This ensures safer and more convenient lane changes and reversing while reducing the risk of accidents.
