How to Automatically Fold the Rearview Mirror on the Malibu XL?

First, enter the main driver's cabin inside the car. Then locate the door handle on the right side of the car. Next to the right door handle, you will find a row of buttons. This row of buttons is the functional button area for controlling the car windows and rearview mirrors. Within the button area, locate the corresponding button, which is the switch for folding the rearview mirror, and then press the button switch. After pressing the rearview mirror folding button, the rearview mirror will begin to fold automatically.
I've been driving for quite a while, and the automatic folding function of the Malibu XL's side mirrors is simple and practical. Inside the car, there's a round knob or button area on the driver's side door handle. Locate the part with the folding icon, turn or press it, and the mirrors will fold in. More commonly, you can use the remote key: hold the lock button for about three seconds when locking the car, and the mirrors will automatically fold; press and hold the unlock button to unfold them. If your vehicle has higher configurations, you can enable the automatic folding feature in the settings menu, so the mirrors fold every time you lock the car. This feature is super convenient in tight parking spaces or when parking on the roadside, protecting the side mirrors from being bumped. Pressing unlock after starting the car resets them, ensuring no impact on driving safety. I recommend trying these methods to confirm they match your car's model and year settings.
