How to adjust the side mirrors on the Buick Regal?

[DeGia]

The adjustment method for the side mirrors on the Buick Regal is as follows: 1. First, press the left or right mirror selector switch to choose the driver or passenger side mirror for adjustment; 2. Press the arrows on the control panel to move each mirror to the desired position; 3. Return the selector switch to the central position. The Buick Regal has body dimensions of 4902mm in length, 1863mm in width, and 1456mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2829mm. These dimensions create a lower visual profile overall, combined with a longer and lower fastback body design, perfectly showcasing the agility of a coupe and the stability of a premium sedan. At the same time, the longer wheelbase and body length provide better rear legroom for the new car without compromising its style.

I've been driving a Buick Regal for three years, so I'm quite familiar with adjusting the mirrors. There's an L/R toggle button on the driver's door panel—press L for the left mirror and R for the right one. Just push the four-directional round knob directly with your fingers: push forward to tilt the mirror downward, pull backward to raise it upward, and the same goes for left and right. Remember to sit upright in your normal driving posture when adjusting for accuracy. Ideally, you should see about 1/4 of your car's body in the side mirrors, with the horizon positioned in the middle for optimal safety. Oh! Higher trim models with seat memory are even more convenient—just adjust your position, press SET + a number key, and the mirrors and seats will automatically reset to your preferred settings next time you drive, no need for repeated adjustments. Don't forget to wipe the mirrors on rainy days to prevent fogging—poor visibility can be dangerous.

Just helped my neighbor adjust the Buick Regal's mirrors last week, and even someone with less strength like a girl can do it. Look for the square panel with icons near the driver's door handle, and the button to select left/right mirrors looks like a small house with L/R letters. The key is to power on first (no need to start the engine), hold the selection button until the light turns on, then adjust. The ideal rearview mirror setup is having the road occupy about two-thirds of the view, with the rear lights of vehicles visible on both sides for practicality. Avoid overusing the folding function—forcing it in sub-zero temperatures can damage the motor. I prefer leaving a small gap to see the tire position, which makes reversing much more reassuring.

Adjusting the Buick Regal's mirrors involves three steps: 1. Start the vehicle and power on. 2. Press the L or R button on the door panel to select the mirror. 3. Use the directional pad to position the mirror. For the left mirror, ensure the car body occupies 1/5 of the view; for the right mirror, due to its wider angle, it's safer to have the car body occupy 1/4. Models with memory function can bind the settings to the driver's seat for convenience. In winter, avoid forcibly folding the mirrors; the defogging/heating function is located next to the snowflake button on the AC panel.

The buttons for the old Regal were located in the window control area, while the new model has moved them to the front side of the door armrest. The core operation involves just two steps: selecting the mirror + adjusting the direction. It's recommended to adjust the mirrors after parking the car straight, with the best angle being able to see the rear wheel arches in the mirrors. For heated mirrors, avoid wiping them with a cloth when fogged up; instead, turn on the heating for five minutes to automatically clear the fog. Friends in the north should pay attention to drying the gaps around the mirror after washing the car to prevent freezing, which can easily damage the adjustment motor. Rearview mirrors are the second pair of eyes while driving, and an incorrect angle can make lane changes very dangerous.

I found the Buick Regal's mirror and seat linkage particularly smart. First adjust the seat position, then set the mirrors: left mirror adjusted to see the bottom right corner of the rear door handle, right mirror centered on the rear door handle. Press SET and hold button 1 to memorize the entire posture. The clicking sound from the adjustment knob is normal motor noise, no need to worry. In heavy rain, the heating function works better than anti-fog agents; just turn the knob to the rear window defogging icon to activate it automatically. When the blind spot monitoring light flashes, ensuring precise mirror angles becomes even more crucial.
