First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the engine; otherwise, the settings cannot be adjusted. Press the [Menu] button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel, then the center [√] button of the directional arrow, and hold down the activation button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. Locate the rearview mirror control unit on the left armrest. While holding the activation button, press the automatic mirror folding button to complete the setup. Following the previous setup steps, during the final step, press the button to the left of the automatic mirror folding to disable the automatic folding feature.
The power-folding mirrors on the 2021 Emgrand are quite convenient. On the driver's door panel, locate the mirror adjustment area and find the button with the folding icon (usually a square symbol with a curved arrow). Press it gently to automatically fold the mirrors. Press it again to unfold them. To enable automatic folding upon locking, access the vehicle settings in the infotainment system: go to Settings, enter the Vehicle menu, find the Mirror options, and check the "Auto-fold when locked" feature. I usually manually press the folding button when parking on narrow roads or before entering an automatic car wash to prevent mirror damage. Remember never to force the mirrors to fold when frozen in winter, as this may damage the motor gears - wait until the ice melts for safer operation. Make it a habit to check the folding button's condition to prevent poor contact caused by water ingress during rainy days.
As a frequent driver of the Emgrand, I'm accustomed to using the electric button to retract the side mirrors. Simply locate the folding button in the door control panel, press it, and the mirrors will fold in less than two seconds. This electric design is much more effortless than manual folding, eliminating concerns about damaging the clips. For long-term outdoor parking, you can even set the mirrors to fold automatically. Just enable the 'fold mirrors when locked' function in the vehicle settings, and the mirrors will automatically retract each time you turn off and lock the car—perfect for forgetful owners. The folding feature is particularly useful when navigating narrow alleys; a quick button press prevents scraping against walls. During regular maintenance, remember to clean dust from the button crevices, as accumulated dust may affect responsiveness. Additionally, after car washes, check the mirror surface for trapped water droplets to prevent potential motor damage from freezing water.
