How to automatically retract the side mirrors when locking a Land Cruiser Prado?

First, locate the side mirror adjustment button area on the left side of the center console in your Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Press the button in the upper right corner of the mirror adjustment area to control the power folding of the mirrors. Pressing the "L" button on the mirror adjustment selects the left mirror for adjustment. Pressing the "R" button on the mirror selection switch chooses the right mirror for adjustment. Finally, press the directional buttons for the vehicle mirrors to adjust their orientation in different directions.
Actually, I know a bit about cars. For models like the Prado, setting the auto-folding mirrors is quite simple. Just press and hold the lock button on the key fob while sitting in the car until you hear a beep or see the mirrors start folding—that means it's set. Some higher-trim models even have an exterior mirror option in the vehicle settings on the infotainment screen; just check the auto-fold box. Normally, the mirrors will fold automatically when locking the car, mainly to prevent scratches or thieves from snapping them off. I’ve had battery issues a few times—if the setting doesn’t respond, check if the car battery voltage is too low or try restarting the vehicle. Regular battery maintenance is key to avoiding function failures. Folding the mirrors while driving also reduces wind resistance, saving a bit of fuel—pretty practical.
