Rotate the control knob inside the Lavida clockwise to the fold mark at the lower right side, and the rearview mirrors can be folded. Car Rearview Mirrors: Car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the car's front and inside the car's front. They reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to see these areas indirectly. They serve as the 'second pair of eyes,' expanding the driver's field of vision. Introduction to the Lavida: The Lavida Plus is a 4-door, 5-seater, front-engine, front-wheel-drive compact sedan equipped with three engines: 1.2T/1.4T/1.5L, and comes with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front design of the Lavida Plus resembles the Arteon, with horizontal grilles integrated with the headlights and a chrome strip running across the top of the grille. The headlights are more refined, with high-end models featuring LED low and high beams, complemented by LED strip daytime running lights. Inside, the Lavida Plus has a multimedia screen embedded in the upper part of the dashboard. The interior comes in three color schemes: Cool Black, Warm Beige, and Personality Brown.
I just bought a Lavida Plus and am still exploring its features. Folding the 'car ears'—the exterior rearview mirrors—is quite practical for preventing scratches when parking in tight spaces. I remember the first time was in a parking lot; just gently push the mirror outward, and it folds manually without any buttons. Place your hand on the outer side of the mirror housing and apply a little force toward the car body, and it will fold inward. Don’t push too hard to avoid damaging the mirror structure. Most basic models of the Lavida Plus operate this way, while the electric versions have a switch on the door handle or control panel for added convenience. I’ve made it a habit to do this when washing the car or parking on the street, keeping the car close to the curb and not sticking out, protecting both others and my own vehicle. Now, it’s become a routine every time I park—effortless, worry-free, and saves money on repairs.
I've been driving the Lavida Plus for several years now, and folding the car's mirrors is a piece of cake—just give them a manual push, simple and straightforward. Parking in crowded neighborhoods often leads to scratched mirrors, but learning to fold them has saved me a lot of hassle. To operate, just stand outside the car, gently press the mirror inward from the lens side until you hear a click. Manual folding is quite durable, so no need to worry about breaking them, but remember not to adjust them while driving. From my experience, it's best to fold them promptly during rain or snow to avoid freezing and becoming stuck. This design is truly thoughtful, making daily driving safer. By the way, for new car owners, a few tries will help you get used to the right amount of force needed.
Folding mirrors are a safety detail, and preventing accidental collisions is crucial. When folding them, ensure the vehicle is turned off, push the mirror housing towards the car body steadily, avoiding excessive force to prevent damage. The Lavida Plus mainly features manual folding, which saves space when parking, especially in narrow alleys or mall parking spots, preventing collisions or injuries to pedestrians. I always check the mirror's condition before operating, making it a habit to enhance protection.
