How to Retract Car Side Mirrors?

[CassidyLynn]

For manually adjustable exterior mirrors, simply push the mirror backward to retract it. Here are some related details: 1. For models equipped with automatic mirror folding, locate the control switch on the driver's side door armrest and press it to automatically retract the mirrors. 2. The power-folding mirror function allows both side mirrors to fold inward when necessary, available in manual or electric versions. During driving, minor collisions are inevitable, and side mirrors—being the widest components on a vehicle—are most susceptible to impact in side-swipe scenarios. The folding feature minimizes potential damage. 3. Foldable mirrors improve vehicle clearance when passing through narrow spaces. When parked, folded mirrors protect the reflective surface while reducing parking space requirements, effectively preventing scrapes. Generally, automatically folded mirrors will reopen upon the next vehicle startup.
