How to Fold the Rearview Mirrors on the 2021 Emgrand?

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.

Folding the mirrors on the 2021 Emgrand involves two steps: First, locate the mirror adjustment area on the driver's door panel, find the dedicated folding button next to the circular knob, and press it to fold. Second, enable the auto-folding feature via the vehicle settings on the central display screen by activating the "fold mirrors when locked" option—this will automatically retract the mirrors upon each lock. This function is especially handy for car washes or navigating tight spaces, with one-second button operation. Note: Avoid forcing the mirrors to fold in subzero freezing conditions; always de-ice first. After occasional manual angle adjustments, reset the knob position to prevent accidental folding failures. Periodically apply electronic cleaner to the button to prevent oxidation.

The rearview mirror folding design of the Emgrand is located in the door panel control area, with a button marked with a folding icon. Press once to fold inward, and press again to restore. It supports the automatic folding function when locking the car, which needs to be checked in the vehicle system settings menu in advance. Personally, I recommend using the folding function when passing through narrow sections, such as market alleys, to avoid scratching the rearview mirrors. Be careful to distinguish the buttons from water ingress on rainy days, and remind the car wash staff to use low-pressure water to rinse the button area when washing the car. If you hear abnormal motor sounds after folding, check the gear track and go to the 4S store for lubrication treatment in time. It is also recommended to fold the mirrors when parking on the roadside to reduce the chance of being hit.

I check the rearview mirror position every day before starting the car. To fold them, simply press the physical button with a curved arrow on the door panel—it's quick and convenient with just one press. For advanced usage, set up automatic folding in the vehicle's system: open the rearview mirror option in the central control screen's vehicle menu and enable the fold-on-lock feature. Manually folding the mirrors is super practical when encountering narrow roads or passing vehicles, and it can be done even during a red light. Be extra cautious when using this function in winter; if the mirrors are frozen, thaw them before folding to avoid overloading the motor and blowing a fuse. For daily maintenance, clean the button contacts with a soft cloth to keep them responsive. If you install rain visors, make sure to leave enough clearance for folding to prevent the mirror glass from getting stuck.
