Can the new Regal's rearview mirrors not fold automatically?
2 Answers
Cannot fold automatically. Additional information: Folding method: When manually folding rearview mirrors for vehicles entering an automatic car wash, they can be manually folded inward to prevent damage. Pull the rearview mirror toward the car body to fold it. Push the rearview mirror outward to return it to its original position. Adjusting the rearview mirror: Select the driver's or passenger's rearview mirror. Push the control knob left, right, up, or down to adjust the mirror lens. Vehicles with memory function can store two rearview mirror positions. Auto-dimming: This vehicle can be equipped with a driver's auto-dimming function, which automatically reduces glare from vehicles behind during night driving.
I previously drove a Buick Regal. Whether this car has automatic mirror folding depends on the specific trim and model year. Higher trims usually come with it as standard, while lower trims require manual operation. My car is the 2022 top trim, and the mirrors automatically fold when I lock the car, which is quite convenient as it prevents potential scratches or theft risks. However, my friend who bought a lower trim doesn’t have this feature and has to manually control it using the button on the door panel. I suggest you first check the owner’s manual or the in-car settings menu to see if there’s an automatic folding option. If not, it might be a trim issue, and you can visit a dealership to check if a software update could enable it. Additionally, if your parking spot is safe, manual folding is sufficient, but if you frequently park on narrow streets, automatic folding can save a lot of hassle. During regular maintenance, have the technician check the wiring to avoid malfunctions. Overall, this feature is practical but not standard across all trims.
