How to Fold the Mirrors on the New Lavida?
2 Answers
The control switch for the mirror folding function on the New Lavida is located on the inside of the driver's side door. Press the switch to automatically fold the mirrors. Some models are not equipped with an automatic folding button and require manual folding by pushing the mirrors inward. More details about the mirror folding function are as follows: 1. Vehicles are inevitably involved in minor accidents during operation. As the widest component installed on a vehicle, the mirrors are most susceptible to impact in case of a side collision. To minimize scratches, mirrors are equipped with a folding function. 2. Mirrors with folding capability can be retracted when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's passability. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the mirrors can also be folded, not only protecting the mirror surface but also reducing parking space and effectively avoiding scratches. 3. In addition to the electric folding function, manual folding is also possible. However, mirrors should only be folded or adjusted when no one is within the vehicle's operating range. For manual folding, simply apply slight force to push the outer mirror inward. 4. When folding manually, ensure that fingers are not trapped between the mirror and its base to avoid unnecessary injury. After using the electric folding function, do not manually fold or adjust the mirrors mechanically, as this may damage the electric drive mechanism.
I remember when I drove the new Lavida, the rearview mirror folding operation was quite simple. First, most new models come with electric folding function. Just look at the knob on the door panel from the driver's seat—the symbol resembles a semicircular arrow or a folding icon. Turn it clockwise to that position, and the mirrors will automatically fold inward, saving effort and hassle. If it's a basic model without electric folding, don't worry—simply stand by the car and gently push the mirror body inward to fold it manually. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the parts. The benefit is that it prevents roadside scratches when parking and saves space. Returning to the original position is also easy: for electric mirrors, just turn the knob in the opposite direction; for manual ones, gently push them back. A quick reminder: ensure the car is powered on or started before operating, and never do it while driving, as it affects visibility and is dangerous. Some configurations even allow automatic folding via the key—just press the lock button, and the mirrors will fold automatically.
