Car side mirrors can automatically unfold after unlocking. Below are specific instructions regarding car side mirrors: Adjustment method: Adjust the horizon reflection in the left side mirror to the center of the mirror, and adjust the reflection of the left side of the car body to occupy the right 1/4 area of the mirror. Adjust the horizon reflection in the right side mirror to the 2/3 height of the mirror, and adjust the reflection of the right side of the car body to occupy the left 1/4 area of the mirror. Here are additional details: Side mirror folding function: The side mirror folding function refers to the ability of the car's side mirrors on both sides to fold and retract when necessary, which can be either manual or electric.
I just picked up my new car, and the mirrors automatically unfold when unlocking—such a practical feature! My experience is that this depends on the vehicle's configuration. If your car is equipped with power-folding mirrors, you can usually enable the auto-deploy option in the settings menu. For example, navigate to the infotainment system and look for "Auto-Folding Mirrors." Once activated, the mirrors will smoothly unfold when unlocking and automatically fold when locking. Many mid-range and higher models, such as Volkswagen and BMW, support this feature, but base trims may not. Remember to check the owner's manual. During setup, ensure the battery voltage is stable. If they don’t open, it might be a setting error or a minor wiring issue—it won’t affect driving but saves the hassle of manually adjusting the mirrors.
