How to Fold the Rearview Mirrors?
2 Answers
Methods for folding rearview mirrors: Generally, press the automatic folding button for the rearview mirrors or rotate the button to the automatic folding position, and both side mirrors will fold simultaneously. Rearview mirror folding can be either manual or electric. Electric rearview mirrors typically achieve automatic folding through an operation button located on the driver's side door or the car's central console. Car rearview mirrors are positioned on the left and right sides of the front of the car and inside the car's front. They reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas clearly, thereby expanding the driver's field of vision.
Folding the side mirrors is actually quite simple, and I do it often while driving, especially when parking in tight spaces. For manual mirrors, just gently push them toward the car body—they’ll fold inward. Avoid using too much force to prevent damaging the mirror glass or bracket. Power-folding mirrors are even easier: look for a small button on the dashboard or door panel, usually labeled "Fold" or marked with a mirror icon. Press it, and the mirrors will retract automatically—some cars even allow independent left/right control. Remember to fold them before automatic car washes or street parking to reduce the risk of scratches. It also makes cleaning easier, as folding provides better access to wipe the mirror surface. In short, it’s all about forming the habit.
