How to Use the Mirror Adjustment Button?

Press the R button, then continuously press the up and down directional buttons to adjust the vertical angle of the rearview mirror until the road occupies half of the mirror. Continuously press the left and right directional buttons to adjust the horizontal angle of the rearview mirror until it reaches the desired position.
Adjusting the car mirror buttons is actually quite simple, but you need to know how to operate them. The buttons are usually located on the inner side of the driver's door panel, with a switch to select the left or right mirror (possibly labeled L or R). After selection, use the four-way joystick to push up, down, left, or right to adjust the mirror position. As someone who has been driving for many years, I recommend doing this when the car is completely stopped and turned off, so you can adjust slowly and ensure the view covers the blind spots on the side of the car. Properly aligned mirrors make driving safer and reduce the risk of accidents. I take time to check their position every week because mirrors may shift on bumpy roads. Remember, the button locations vary by car model, and some high-end cars are more sensitive, but the operation logic is similar—from simple to complex, it's easy to get the hang of it. With a few tries, you'll get used to the actual operation.
I often help friends with minor car adjustments, and mastering mirror control buttons isn't difficult. First, locate the adjuster on the door armrest and identify the toggle button for left/right mirror selection (usually a switch). After selecting the target mirror, use the joystick to fine-tune the mirror angle. It's safest to adjust while parked - never do this while driving to avoid hazards. The ideal angle shows both the rear wheel and road edge clearly, boosting confidence during lane changes or reversing. I've found regular button cleaning prevents dust buildup too. While button shapes vary across models, their functions remain similar. A bit of practice makes perfect.
