Do the rearview mirrors fold when the car is locked. Here are some related questions about rearview mirrors: Rearview mirror adjustment methods: Rearview mirror adjustment steps: Locate the electric adjustment button on the driver's left door, where L stands for the left rearview mirror and R for 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 the knob downwards to change the viewing angle downwards, and use the same method to move the knob left or right, etc. Method for viewing the distance of the rear car: Through the interior rearview mirror, you can see the entire outline of the rear car at a distance of about 20 meters, clearly see the middle grille of the rear car at a distance of about 6 to 8 meters, and clearly see the front engine cover of the rear car at a distance of about 3 meters.

After driving various cars, I've found that mirror folding after locking depends entirely on the model and configuration. Some high-end cars come with this feature enabled by default, like my BMW; while economy cars may require manual activation through the menu, as my old Toyota needed a setup button press. I personally prefer the auto-folding feature for its convenience and scratch prevention. But don't rely on it too much - sometimes the system fails, like when the battery is low or signal is weak. Once after rain, my mirrors didn't fold at all. I'd suggest checking your vehicle manual first, or visiting a professional shop for adjustment. Experiment with different settings to ensure both safety and peace of mind.
