Can Electric Rearview Mirrors Be Folded Manually?

[LaElle]

Electric rearview mirrors can be folded manually, but they contain motors and reduction gears inside, so manual folding is not recommended. If manual folding is necessary, it should be done gently to avoid damaging the gears, causing electric failure, or producing abnormal noises. More details about rearview mirror folding are as follows: 1. The rearview mirror folding function refers to the ability of the side mirrors on both sides of the car to fold and retract when necessary, which can be either manual or electric. 2. Folding the rearview mirrors saves a significant amount of space and also prevents potential damage to the mirrors. 3. In mid-range and high-end cars, rearview mirrors are generally foldable, with two folding methods: manual and electric. Manual folding requires the driver to reach out the window or step out of the car to fold the mirrors, and it must be done gently, making it both inconvenient and unsafe. Some models do not even have a manual folding function. Electric folding is more common and offers the advantage of allowing the driver to fold the mirrors from inside the car. The mirrors will automatically unfold when the vehicle is started, making it convenient and safe.
