How to Set the Rearview Mirror on an Older Mazda 6?
2 Answers
Near the window lift switch on the left side of the driver's seat, there is a button with a rearview mirror pattern. Simply press this button to activate the vehicle's rearview mirror folding function.
I've been driving my old Mazda6 for several years, and adjusting the mirrors is quite straightforward—first, adjust the seat to a comfortable position after getting in, ensuring you're sitting upright before making any changes. The mirror control panel on the older Mazda6 is typically located on the door handle by your left hand, featuring small buttons: first press L to select the left mirror, then use the directional buttons to slowly adjust the angle up, down, left, or right until you can see a bit of the car body and the road behind, which helps cover blind spots more safely. The right mirror is adjusted the same way, ensuring visibility covers the side and rear of the vehicle. Safety comes first, so it's best to adjust while parked—never fiddle with them while driving. If someone else drives the car, teach them how to quickly reset the mirrors; the older model lacks memory functions, but manual adjustment becomes quick with practice, taking just seconds. Regularly check if the mirror angles have shifted, especially after car washes or bumpy rides, to avoid surprises. Doing this in a well-lit garage makes the process more intuitive.
