Buick Excelle's rearview mirror adjustment buttons are located on the left side of the steering wheel. Here is some information about rearview mirrors: 1. The side mirrors located on the left and right exterior of the vehicle are important safety features. There are two types: manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. Most current vehicle models on the market are equipped with power-adjustable side mirrors. In addition, there are features like power folding, mirror memory, mirror heating, automatic tilt-down in reverse, auto-folding when locking, and auto-dimming. 2. Rearview mirrors are relatively fragile external components. If damaged, they can affect driving safety, and the cost of replacement is relatively high.

Last time I drove my friend's Buick Excelle, I was deeply impressed. The switch is located next to the driver's side door panel armrest, not far from the window control buttons—a dedicated small button marked with a mirror and an arrow. I figured it out myself: it only activates after starting the engine. Pressing it automatically folds the mirrors, which is very convenient for parking in tight spaces to avoid scratches. Don’t forget to check if the key is in the ignition position. If the button doesn’t respond, it might be due to a battery issue or a blown fuse—safety first, so get it checked promptly. It’s advisable to confirm the car is unlocked before each use to avoid accidental activation that could cause damage.

As someone who loves exploring small car features, the power-folding mirror switch on the Buick Excelle is typically located on the door trim panel, specifically near the driver's door handle, featuring a delicate button with a folding icon design. In actual operation, simply press the button gently when the vehicle is powered on to achieve automatic retraction. I've also discovered that higher trim models allow automatic folding mode configuration via the central touchscreen, such as triggering upon locking, a thoughtful detail that makes parking more effortless. If the button becomes unresponsive, first check whether the door window controller's wiring is properly connected, and regularly clean contact point dust during maintenance to preserve sensitivity.

When I first bought the Buick Excelle, I couldn't find that switch either. Later, I discovered it's right on the driver's door panel, next to the window control switch—a small round button marked with a folding symbol. The operation is simple: just press it after starting the car, and the mirrors will fold in. Press it again to restore them when exiting. New drivers shouldn't worry about making mistakes; accidental presses won't harm the car. However, be cautious during rainy days to avoid motor overload and malfunctions. After practicing a few times, it becomes very practical and makes parking much easier.

How to adjust the car seat backrest?

Seat backrest adjustment method: Rotate the adjustment knob on the left side of the seat to adjust according to your body size, with a maximum tilt of one to two segments. When adjusting, use the strength of your back to adjust the backrest angle until your palm can comfortably press against the upper end of the steering wheel. Here are some additional tips: Precautions for seat adjustment: Adjust the angle of the seat backrest so that it supports your lower back. Avoid leaving your lower back unsupported when leaning back to reduce fatigue during driving. The car driver's seat is most protective of the lower back when the seat surface and backrest are tilted at approximately 100 degrees. This is because when the body leans back at a 100-degree angle, it slightly reclines, which naturally aligns with the slight backward curve of the waist. Additionally, at this angle, the raised design in the lumbar area of the car seat most effectively reduces pressure on the lower back.
