Adjusting your side mirrors on a Toyota Corolla is straightforward. The controls are located on the driver's door and are used to adjust both the driver and passenger side mirrors.
Step-by-Step Guide to Mirror Adjustment
Here’s how to adjust your side mirrors using the controls:
- Locate the Mirror Controls: Find the joystick control panel on the driver's side door. This is where you'll control both mirrors.
- Select the Mirror to Adjust:
- Driver's Side Mirror: Turn the knob to the left to select the driver's side mirror for adjustment.
- Passenger's Side Mirror: Turn the knob to the right to select the passenger's side mirror for adjustment.
- Adjust the Mirror: Once you've selected the mirror, use the joystick to adjust the mirror up, down, left, or right to your desired position.
- Move the joystick up/down to adjust the vertical angle of the mirror.
- Move the joystick left/right to adjust the horizontal angle of the mirror.
- Test the Adjustment: After making adjustments, take a look in each mirror to ensure you have a clear view of the lanes beside you and blind spots behind you.
Key Points to Remember
- Proper Adjustment: Ensure you can see a small amount of your car's side in the mirrors for better perspective. Avoid setting them to see only the lane next to you, as that creates a larger blind spot.
- Safety: Always adjust your mirrors before you start driving. Avoid adjusting your mirrors while the vehicle is in motion.
