Folding method for the Q5's rearview mirror: Select the folding option in the vehicle's large screen, enter the vehicle settings, and check the rearview mirror option to complete the setup. Electrically folding rearview mirrors refer to the ability to fold and retract the side mirrors when necessary. The Q5 is a dynamic and versatile SUV, equipped with Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2 high-performance sports tires. The vehicle dimensions are 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm. The fuel tank capacity is 75L, and it features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout, making it a 5-door, 5-seater SUV.
As a long-term user of an Audi Q5, I'd like to share my experience with folding the side mirrors. When seated in the driver's seat, look down at the area along the inner edge of the left door where several control buttons are located, specifically for mirror functions. There's usually a circular knob marked with a mirror symbol that can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the angle. However, to fold the mirrors, locate the position labeled 'fold' or with a similar icon, give it a gentle turn, and the mirrors will automatically fold inward with a slight click, completing the process in just a few seconds. This operation is particularly useful when parking in narrow alleys or washing the car by the roadside to prevent mirror damage. I've used this feature in crowded parking spaces within my residential area with excellent results. Remember to perform this operation only when the vehicle is completely stationary, never while driving, to avoid distraction. Additionally, regularly check the button's responsiveness to prevent dust buildup, ensuring safer and more convenient vehicle use in special situations.
From the perspective of understanding vehicle controls, I will explain the folding process: Inside the Q5, there is a rearview mirror adjustment module on the driver's side door panel, which includes a knob and icons to manage functions. Locating the folding option typically involves turning the knob to a designated position, or some models have a separate button. When operating, first ensure the ignition power is on, then gently adjust the switch to fold the mirrors. By the way, this feature can reduce visual distractions during rainy or nighttime driving while also helping to save space when parking. However, note that if the mirrors do not move, it could be due to loose wiring or a module malfunction—try simple cleaning or restarting, and avoid forcing them to prevent damage to electronic components. After each use, test the reset function to ensure everything is working properly.
