How to fold the rearview mirror of Changan Oshan X5?
2 Answers
After selecting the folding function on the rearview mirror adjustment knob on the driver's side door panel, the rearview mirror will fold. Hold the bottom of the rearview mirror with one hand, and push it backward firmly with the other hand, but avoid using excessive force to prevent potential damage.
I've been driving the Changan Oshan X5 for almost two years now, and folding the mirrors is pretty straightforward: Locate the mirror adjustment knob on the driver's door handle, which has a folding icon on it. Just turn the knob to that position, and the mirrors will automatically fold inward. At first, I was always afraid of breaking them, but later I realized it works fine whether the car is turned off or running—it doesn't affect the battery. The benefit is that it saves space when parking in tight spots and prevents the mirrors from getting knocked off, especially in older neighborhoods with small parking spaces. Doing this daily is super practical. Just remember not to force them in snowy winter conditions to avoid damaging the motor if they're frozen. Also, occasionally wipe the dust off the mirror joints to keep the motor running smoothly for longer.
