How to automatically fold the mirrors on the Changan CS55?
3 Answers
Adjust the mirror control button, which can be rotated to four positions: adjust left, adjust right, center, and fold. Simply turn it to the fold position. When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center. For the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror surface. When adjusting the up and down positions of the right-side mirror, leave a larger area for the ground, accounting for about 2/3 of the mirror surface.
Operating the automatic folding mirrors on the Changan CS55 is actually quite simple. I often use its electric function to handle tight parking spaces. Usually, near the driver's door handle or on the center console, you'll find a button with a mirror icon, shaped like a small mirror. Press it gently, and both side mirrors will automatically fold inward; press it again to restore them. Some models also support smart modes, such as automatically folding the mirrors when you lock the car and unfolding them when you unlock it, which is both convenient and anti-theft. New owners are advised to check the vehicle settings menu first to confirm if automatic folding is enabled—this can prevent mirror damage in crowded streets and extend their lifespan. Daily maintenance is simple; just remember to occasionally clean the mirror pivot to prevent dust buildup that could cause stiffness.
As a CS55 owner, I find the power-folding mirrors particularly useful, especially in tight parking spots in residential areas where they've been a huge help. The operation is straightforward: press the folding button in the center console area (usually the small button near the door) before getting in or after exiting the vehicle, and the mirrors obediently retract; press it again in the opposite direction to pop them back out. Never fold them while driving, as it can affect blind spot visibility. I've also discovered that the remote key can operate them in sync—holding down the lock button for a few seconds automatically folds the mirrors, which is convenient and hassle-free. The real benefit is preventing scratches, like in narrow passages of shopping mall parking garages, where this little smart feature significantly enhances driving safety. Regularly lubricate the pivot points to keep them smooth, and avoid forcing them, as it can easily damage the motor.
