As a veteran driver of Volkswagen for 12 years, I have seen too many cases where car owners accidentally scratched the wheels by not adjusting the reverse rearview mirror properly. Today, I will share with you the professional adjustment method for the automatic lowering of the Touareg reverse rearview mirror 📝
1、 Basic adjustment of conventional perspective
Based on years of experience, a regular perspective is a prerequisite for automatic shooting. The left rearview mirror should show 1/4 of the vehicle horizontally and the vertical horizon should be centered; The horizon of the right rearview mirror accounts for 2/3, and the right side of the vehicle accounts for 1/4; The central rearview mirror should be able to see the outline of the right rearview mirror, with the horizon centered 🔍
2、 Automatic flip down function activation setting
First, turn the rearview mirror adjustment knob to the "R" gear. After shifting to the R gear, the right rearview mirror will automatically flip down. If the angle is not suitable, it can be adjusted by turning the knob in R gear. It is recommended that the ground occupies 1/3 of the mirror surface. After adjustment, it will be automatically saved by shifting back to P/D gear 🎯
3、 Key operational precautions
Automatic flipping only applies to the right rearview mirror, while the left mirror maintains its original viewing angle. After the vehicle speed exceeds 15km/h or switches back to D gear, the rearview mirror will automatically reset. If the downward flipping amplitude is abnormal, it may be due to the shaft being stuck and requires regular cleaning and maintenance ⚠️
4、 Practical scenario optimization suggestions
When reversing in narrow areas, it is recommended to use panoramic imaging to reduce blind spots. Turning on the heated rearview mirror while reversing at night can prevent fog from affecting visibility. These tips are all my years of accumulated experience and have proven effective through personal testing 🌟
Mastering this adjustment method can make reversing safer and more efficient. Everyone can pay more attention to the status of the rearview mirror when using the car, and adjust it in a timely manner if there are any problems
