How to Fold the Mirrors on a Skoda Octavia?
2 Answers
Press and hold the remote lock button for 3 seconds to automatically fold the mirrors; they will automatically unfold when you unlock and open the car door. Press the lock button once to automatically fold the mirrors and close the windows without needing to hold for 3 seconds. Switch to the folding position to automatically fold the mirrors; adjust to other positions, and the mirrors will automatically unfold. Switch to the R position, engage the reverse gear, and the mirrors will automatically tilt to preset angles left, right, up, and down. When the speed exceeds 15 km/h or the switch is turned to the O position, the mirrors will automatically return to their original position.
I've been driving a Skoda Octavia for several years now, and I remember being worried about breaking the mirrors the first time I folded them. It's actually quite simple. If your car has manual mirrors, just gently push the mirror inward to fold it—don't use too much force to avoid damaging the mirror base. If it's an electric version, it's even more convenient. There's usually a small button on the driver's side door panel marked with a mirror icon; just press it lightly, and the mirrors will retract automatically. Folding them regularly helps prevent scratches or damage when parking, especially in tight garages—it’s super practical. Making this a habit can save you a lot on repair costs. Oh, and for older cars where the button isn’t as responsive, check the fuse or maintain the wiring regularly to extend the mirror’s lifespan. In short, just confirm your car’s mirror type before operating and proceed accordingly.
