How to Adjust the Rearview Mirrors on the Tiida?

[VonAlexa]

The method to adjust the rearview mirrors on the Tiida is as follows: 1. The rearview mirror adjustment knob is located near the door handle. Turn the knob to the left to the left mirror symbol position, then you can move the knob up, down, left, or right to adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror; 2. Turn the knob to the right to the right mirror symbol position to adjust the angle of the right rearview mirror; 3. There is also a "0" symbol in the middle, representing the neutral position, which prevents accidental touching of the knob and disrupting previous settings. Taking the 2021 Tiida as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4393mm, width 1766mm, height 1539mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, minimum ground clearance of 130mm, and a body weight of 1180kg.

I've been driving the Tiida for three years, and the rearview mirror adjustment button is located on the driver's door armrest, right next to the window control buttons—that small square button. When getting in the car, first press the square selector button: the left light turns on to adjust the left mirror, and the right light for the right mirror. Then, use the central four-way joystick to push slowly. For side visibility, adjust until the car body occupies about a quarter of the mirror surface, and for vertical angle, set the horizon in the middle of the mirror for the safest view. Before driving on the highway, I always adjust it slightly downward for clearer visibility of rear vehicles when changing lanes. If the rearview mirror angle keeps resetting, the memory button might not be saved properly—just press and hold SET, then press a number key to save the position.

Last time I taught my wife how to adjust the Qashqai's rearview mirrors, the key point was blind spot handling. After adjusting the driver's seat to the preferred position, start adjusting the mirrors: The side mirrors should provide a full view of vehicles in the second lane, with the car body occupying no more than a quarter of the mirror surface. When adjusting, slightly tilt your head to the center of the driver's seat for the most accurate perspective. Don't overlook the rearview mirror heating button—it's super practical for defogging when the mirrors are blurry after rain. To fold the mirrors, make sure to shift into P mode after parking and press the button; never force them manually. For higher trim versions with memory function, remember to turn off the ignition before pressing the memory button to save the position.

There are tricks to adjusting the rearview mirrors. Using the left thumb to toggle the selection button and the index finger to control the directional lever is the most ergonomic. Adjust the left mirror until the car door handle just disappears from view, and position the right mirror so the horizon line sits at the upper third of the frame. Making minor adjustments at red lights is the most convenient. Be careful not to accidentally press the heated mirror icon, which resembles a steaming glass pane. To fold the mirrors automatically, press and hold the lock button on the car key for three seconds. Remember to dry the mirror surfaces before folding them in rainy weather.

The rearview mirror adjustment lever of the Tiida is located next to the speaker on the driver's door panel, with L/R markings on the plastic panel. Novice drivers are advised to adjust during daytime reversing: set the left mirror to see the left rear wheel, and maximize the distance view for the right mirror. Models with reverse tilt function will automatically angle down when shifting to reverse gear, returning to position only after turning off the engine. The folding switch must be pushed all the way - avoid forcing it during winter freezing. The memory function can store two positions; press the preset button to auto-reset before changing drivers. Note: it's best to power on but not start the engine when adjusting mirrors.

As a Tiida owner sharing experience: The key to mirror adjustment is combating blind spots. The combo buttons on the driver's door panel indicate the currently adjusted side with L/R red lights. Left mirror 50-50 sky/ground split, right mirror 30-70 ratio is more reasonable. When a car appears centered in your mirror, it's actually 3 meters behind you - setting too low is dangerous. Push the folding switch upward to deploy; remember to wipe water accumulation after folding mirrors in heavy rain. The high-trim's reverse-linked mirror function can be disabled via the infotainment screen.
