Press the left arrow button on the multifunction steering wheel repeatedly in short intervals; release the button when the setup tab appears on the instrument cluster menu interface. First, click the right button on the steering wheel to enter the setup interface. After entering, click on the setup option; then select the mirrors tab. At this point, simply choose the auto-folding option to enable automatic mirror retraction when locking the doors. This completes the power-folding mirror setup.

To activate the automatic folding of the rearview mirrors when locking the Tiguan, I generally recommend first sitting in the driver's seat, turning on the ignition without starting the engine, opening the central control screen, clicking on the "Vehicle Settings" menu to find the "Rearview Mirror Settings" option, and then enabling the "Fold When Locking" function. Some models may require holding down the lock button on the remote key for a few seconds to confirm activation. After setting it up, remember to test the locking function to see if the rearview mirrors fold smoothly, which saves the hassle of manual folding and is especially practical when parking in narrow spaces to prevent scratches. Regularly check if the rearview mirror pivots are stuck, and avoid letting debris block them—lubricate them periodically to extend their lifespan. It's best to always carry the vehicle manual, as configurations may vary significantly between different model years, so avoid incorrect operations.

I've tried activating this feature multiple times, and it's quite user-friendly with straightforward operation. After starting the vehicle, enter the central control system, navigate to the 'Comfort Settings' section, select the mirror-related parameters, and check the 'fold mirrors when locking' option. If your remote has a smart button, simply hold it for a few seconds while locking to activate. The mirrors automatically fold when locking daily, which is both convenient and protective for the equipment, especially in crowded residential areas where it's particularly useful. If you find it's not working, don't panic—check if the fuse is blown or if the battery has sufficient charge. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the mirrors are clean, smooth, and rotate flexibly, avoiding dust accumulation that could increase wear and tear.

Activation is simple. Just go to the vehicle's central control settings, find the mirror option, and enable the auto-folding feature when locking. Press and hold the lock button on the key to test and complete the setup. Using this feature regularly offers many benefits, such as protecting the mirrors and extending their lifespan.
