How to Adjust Volkswagen Rearview Mirrors?
2 Answers
Method for adjusting Volkswagen rearview mirrors: First, locate the adjustment button on the armrest of the driver's side door, marked with L and R symbols. The central 0 position on the adjustment knob turns off the adjustment function. Rotate the knob to R to adjust the direction and angle of the right rearview mirror, and rotate it to L to adjust the left rearview mirror. Volkswagen's car brands include: T-Cross, Tharu, New Energy Tharu, and Tiguan L New Energy. Among them, the T-Cross has dimensions of 4218mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1599mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2651mm. It features a 5-speed manual transmission and is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.
I often help my friends adjust their rearview mirrors when driving, so let me explain how to adjust the mirrors in Volkswagen models. Rearview mirrors are divided into the interior rearview mirror and the left/right exterior mirrors. First, sit in the driver's seat, ensuring the seat and steering wheel are comfortably positioned, with your back straight and head naturally facing forward. Adjusting the interior rearview mirror is simple—just move it up, down, left, or right by hand until the center of the rear windshield is visible in the mirror, covering the entire lane behind you and minimizing blind spots. The exterior mirrors are adjusted using buttons on the door. Most Volkswagen models have electric controls: press the L or R button to select the left or right mirror, then use the directional buttons to adjust until a small portion of your car's body is visible at the edge of the mirror, with the rest showing the rear view. This helps avoid blind spots during turns. Adjust slowly in good daylight and test-drive to ensure blind spots are minimized. Safety comes first—mirror positioning affects reversing and lane-changing safety. Check the mirrors every few months, as bumps or car washes may shift them. Older Volkswagen models may require manual adjustment by twisting the mirror stem, but the principle remains the same. Don’t underestimate this simple task—it boosts driving confidence and makes long trips more relaxing.
