Can the Rearview Mirrors of the Baojun 310 Be Folded?
3 Answers
Yes, they can be folded. The method to fold the rearview mirrors of the Baojun 310 is to adjust the knob to the far right position. The rearview mirror adjustment knob is located near the door handle. Adjusting the knob to the central dot position turns off the rearview mirror adjustment. The angle of the rearview mirrors should be adjusted according to actual usage. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver, to prevent driving safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Rearview mirrors are categorized by installation location into interior rearview mirrors, exterior rearview mirrors, and under-mirrors: Interior Rearview Mirror: The interior rearview mirror allows the driver to confirm the rear situation without significantly altering the forward line of sight while driving. Exterior Rearview Mirror: Passenger cars generally mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. In Japan, some vehicles also mount them on the fenders. Under-Mirror: The under-mirror enables the driver to see areas outside the front and rear wheels beneath the car body through the mirror directly in front of the driver's seat. This allows the driver to check for people or obstacles near the wheels and the car body when reversing or starting forward, preventing injury to people or damage to objects and the vehicle, providing convenience and safety to the driver.
I've been driving this Baojun 310 for several years, and its mirrors are indeed foldable—manually operated, just a push to tuck them in, which is particularly handy for city parking. When searching for a spot in crowded neighborhoods, if space is tight, I fold the mirrors inward to avoid getting them scraped by passing cars. Once, I parked in a narrow alley without folding them, and the mirror got scratched by the wall, costing me a few hundred yuan to repair. Since then, I've made it a habit. Folding them also makes it easier for car washers to thoroughly clean the dirt in the corners. The Baojun 310's design isn't flashy but highly practical, perfectly suited for drivers frequently navigating complex environments—safe and worry-free. The manual folding is straightforward, requiring no tools, and easy to learn.
As a new driver of the Baojun 310, I've always been curious about whether its side mirrors can fold. After asking the salesperson, I confirmed they can be manually folded, not electrically. I've tried gently pushing them inward to fold, and it's easy to do without damaging them, even for beginners. This feature is useful in narrow alleys or supermarket parking lots to avoid parking difficulties or scratches. My driving instructor taught me that folding the mirrors can also protect them from being damaged in bad weather, improving driving safety. Economy cars often have this design, saving electricity, money, and being reliable. I'm gradually developing the habit of checking before parking, which has been quite helpful in improving my daily driving skills.
