Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Owners Manual: Sun visors

Fig. 84 shows the Golf Mk7 sun visor in its two working positions: folded down over the windscreen, or pulled out of its bracket and swung over towards the side window. A vanity mirror with its own light sits behind the visor cover — this page explains how to use both the visor and the mirror light.

Various positions for the driver and front passenger sun visors:

  • Folded down over the windscreen.
  • Pulled out of the bracket and swung over towards the door  .

Vanity mirror light

A vanity mirror is located behind a cover on the folded down sun visor. When you open the cover  , a lamp ① lights up.

The lamp goes out when the vanity mirror cover is pushed back or the sun visor is folded upwards or rotated forwards as far as it will go.

In certain circumstances, the lamp above the sun visor will go out automatically after a few minutes. This prevents the battery from discharging.
