How to Adjust Volkswagen Mirrors?
2 Answers
The method to adjust Volkswagen mirrors is as follows: 1. Turn the round knob to the "L" position, then move the knob forward, backward, left, and right to begin adjusting the left side mirror of the car; 2. Adjust the horizon of the left mirror to the center of the mirror, with the car body occupying one-fourth of the right side of the left mirror, then turn the round knob to the "R" position to begin adjusting the right side mirror; 3. Adjust the horizon of the right mirror to two-thirds of the mirror's height, with the car body occupying one-fourth of the left side of the right mirror, then turn the round knob to the "0" position to complete the adjustment of both side mirrors; 4. After adjusting the side mirrors, manually adjust the car's central rearview mirror by positioning the rear window in the exact center of the mirror, with the horizon at half the height of the mirror.
Adjusting the mirrors on a Volkswagen is actually quite simple, especially for new drivers. After sitting in the driver's seat, first adjust your seating position to ensure you're comfortable before starting. On the door panel, there's usually a control switch with L for left and R for right—use this to select the mirror you want to adjust. If it's a four-way button, press up, down, left, or right to gradually move the mirror angle. Personally, I prefer setting the left mirror to just show the edge of my car's body, while the right mirror is slightly wider to reduce blind spots on the right. Don’t forget to test it while parked—drive in an open area and check to ensure the rear wheels and road conditions are clearly visible. Safety first! Also, after washing the car, always check if the mirrors are clean. On rainy days, you can use the heating function to defog them, avoiding hazards from poor visibility. This habit has made my driving much easier.
