Can the Elysion's rearview mirrors automatically fold when the car is locked?

Elysion's rearview mirrors can automatically fold when the car is locked. The electric folding is driven by a motor. Please avoid manually folding them to prevent issues such as abnormal noises and inaccurate repositioning in future use. When parking the car, press and hold the lock button for more than 3 seconds to automatically fold the rearview mirrors, and all windows will close. When unlocking the car, the rearview mirrors will automatically unfold, and pressing and holding for more than 3 seconds will open all windows (useful for releasing hot air from the car in summer). The Elysion has a length, width, and height of 4950mm, 1842mm, and 1711mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. It is an MPV under Dongfeng Honda, and its environmental standards comply with the China VI emission standards.
When driving the Elysion, I noticed that its side mirrors can indeed be set to automatically fold upon locking. I used the 2019 high-end model, where simply pressing and holding the lock button on the remote key for a few seconds before releasing it would make the mirrors slowly retract—both cool and practical. In tight parking spaces, this feature has been a lifesaver, preventing scratches. If you're unsure whether your model supports this, I recommend checking the owner's manual or looking through the vehicle settings. Sometimes it needs to be manually enabled—at first, I thought mine was broken, only to realize the feature was turned off in the central control menu. Now parking is much more hassle-free, and I'd suggest other owners try it too. It not only protects the mirrors but also extends their lifespan.
As a family user, the auto-folding feature of the Elysion's side mirrors is quite thoughtful, especially when picking up or dropping off kids at school. The mirrors automatically retract when the car is locked, eliminating worries about children accidentally bumping into them. On my 2020 model, a long press on the remote key activates this function, and it has been virtually trouble-free after setup. However, it's important to regularly clean the mirror pivots to prevent dust buildup that could cause stiffness. For base models without this feature, I believe it's worth upgrading the module as it saves the hassle of manual operation. Compared to other MPVs, this design in the Elysion stands out as an intelligent highlight, enhancing both convenience and overall safety.
