Do the rearview mirrors fold when the car is locked? Here are some related questions about rearview mirrors: 1. Rearview mirror adjustment method: Steps to adjust the rearview mirror: Locate the electric adjustment button on the driver's left door, where L represents the left rearview mirror and R represents the right rearview mirror. To adjust the angle of the left rearview mirror, rotate the adjustment knob's white dot to the L position. Lift the knob upwards to change the mirror's viewing angle upwards, press it downwards to change the angle downwards, and move it left or right by turning the knob accordingly. 2. Method for judging the distance of the rear vehicle: When the entire outline of the rear vehicle can be seen through the interior rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 20 meters. If the grille of the rear vehicle is clearly visible, the distance is about 6 to 8 meters. When the front hood of the rear vehicle can be clearly seen, the distance is approximately 3 meters.
My car happens to come with an automatic folding mirror feature, which retracts the mirrors every time I lock the car. Once, I forgot to close it while parking at a mall, and when I returned, I found a scratch from the adjacent car – it broke my heart. So, I suggest waiting a few extra seconds after locking to observe the mirrors' movement. This feature can usually be toggled in the vehicle settings. High-end models typically come with it as standard, while lower trims might require an aftermarket installation. I've heard some luxury cars even allow individual control over single-side mirror folding, which is handy for navigating narrow roads. I find this design quite user-friendly, especially for novice drivers, as it saves a lot of hassle.
