Where is the rearview mirror switch button located?

The rearview mirror switch button is located on the driver's side door or on the left side of the dashboard. The rearview mirror switch can adjust the car's side mirrors. Generally, this button is cylindrical in shape, and by turning it left or right, you can select the corresponding side mirror. Typically, the one marked with the letter 'L' is for the left rearview mirror, and the one marked with the letter 'R' is for the right rearview mirror. After selecting the corresponding mirror, you can adjust it by moving the button forward, backward, left, or right. Drivers can use the side mirrors to monitor the vehicle's condition while driving, helping to avoid accidents. In mid-to-high-end cars, the rearview mirrors are usually foldable. There are two types of folding functions: manual and electric. The manual type requires the driver to reach out of the window or step out of the car to fold the mirrors, which is both inconvenient and unsafe. The electric type is more common and allows the driver to fold the mirrors from inside the car. When the vehicle is started, the mirrors will automatically unfold.

I drive an ordinary family sedan, and the rearview mirror adjustment switch is installed right above the door handle on the driver's side door. It's usually a small knob or a few buttons specifically designed to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors. The position is ergonomically designed so you can reach it effortlessly without turning around to search for it. Most cars place the switch here to prevent drivers from taking their eyes off the road while fumbling for it, reducing the risk of accidents. Of course, some newer models might integrate it into the multifunction steering wheel or the central touchscreen, but those are exceptions—the door location remains the most reliable. Personally, I’ve developed a habit of adjusting the mirrors before every drive to ensure clear visibility, which is crucial for safety. If the buttons feel loose or unresponsive, it might just be dirty contacts—a quick wipe usually fixes it. Don’t overlook this small detail—it can prevent many blind-spot accidents.
