How to Adjust Volkswagen Rearview Mirrors and What Functions Do They Have?

Volkswagen rearview mirror adjustment method: Adjust at the door armrest, first rotate the knob to the left or right rearview mirror button, then you can adjust the desired mirror in all directions. Around the knob, there is a '0' mark, which means idle. When the knob is aligned to idle, there is no need to worry about other settings being disrupted. The rearview mirror has a heating function, with the function mark located below the knob. Rotate the knob to this position to heat the rearview mirror. The Volkswagen Lavida is a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4670 mm, 1806 mm, and 1474 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2688 mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Volkswagen Lavida is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I often drive Volkswagen cars, and adjusting the rearview mirrors is quite easy. On the left side of the driver's door, there's a dedicated knob or button switch. First, select the left or right mirror icon, then twist or push it to adjust the angle up, down, left, or right. Remember to adjust it while sitting in the normal driving position to ensure you can see the edges of vehicles behind you on both sides. Functionally, the rearview mirror isn't just for looking behind—it also has an anti-glare feature that automatically dims when headlights from oncoming cars are too bright at night, preventing eye strain. The heating function is great during rain or snow, quickly removing fog or frost. Some models come with memory settings; for example, when my wife and I switch drivers, the mirrors automatically return to their preset positions, which is super convenient. When reversing, the mirrors tilt slightly downward to help spot ground obstacles and reduce the risk of blind-spot scrapes. These features greatly assist with daily safe driving, so I recommend regularly checking if the mirror lenses and adjusters are working properly.
