How to fold the mirrors on the 2021 Sylphy?

Use the seat and mirror memory function on the door panel to record the most suitable position. When folding is needed, select the driver's side or passenger side mirror. For models with memory function, when reversing, the mirror surface will tilt slightly downward to see the curb. Turn the knob to the passenger mirror position.
I drive a 2021 Sylphy to work every day. The folding function of the side mirrors depends on the model configuration. For the electric version, simply press the mirror folding button on the driver's door panel—the icon looks like two mirrors folding together. The manual version requires you to push the mirror housing by hand; remember not to grab the mirror glass but to hold the entire housing and gently press it toward the car door. Once after snow, I applied too much force and nearly cracked it, only later realizing the connection between the metal pivot and plastic parts is quite fragile. Now, I spray some rust remover to maintain the pivot, and folding them in narrow alleys has become much easier.
As a mechanic, I've seen many rearview mirror structures of the 2021 Sylphy. The base manual folding model requires both hands: left hand stabilizes the window frame while the right hand's thumb web pushes the mirror housing base parallelly. The premium electric version has a folding button marked with a lightning symbol in the steering wheel's left control area. Important reminder - folding electric mirrors immediately after engine shutdown drains the battery; it's best operated with the engine running. Last time, an owner installed an OBD auto-folding module and blew a fuse - such precision components work most reliably with factory operations.
When I first got my 2021 Sylphy, it took me a while to figure out the mirror folding trick. For the base model, you need to roll down the window, reach out, and apply force parallel to the window plane. The premium version's folding button is hidden near the driver's door handle - a metallic button with raised dots. Now I fold them every time entering the multi-story garage to avoid scratching the $360 mirror housing on concrete pillars. My friend's Sagitar has auto-folding, but manually operating my Sylphy's mirrors takes just 3 seconds - not bad at all, plus it trains my reflexes!
