Audi A3 mirror retraction method: Locate the switch resembling an animal paw print on the driver's side door panel, then rotate the knob to the folding position to retract the mirrors. The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information from the rear, side, and below the vehicle. The Audi A3 is a compact car with dimensions of 4343mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1458mm in height, a wheelbase of 2630mm, turbocharged intake, a 5-door 5-seat hatchback body type, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour.
Having driven for many years, folding the mirrors on an Audi A3 is actually quite simple. Sit in the driver's seat and look for the mirror adjustment knob on the left door handle—it's a small dial with icons indicating the folding position, specifically a symbol of two small mirrors coming together. Gently turn the knob to that position, and the mirrors will automatically fold in; turn it back to unfold them. This feature is particularly useful, especially when parking on narrow streets or washing the car to protect the mirrors from scratches. Be cautious not to force the knob during icy conditions to avoid damaging the motor. Audi's electric design is very user-friendly, and this feature is standard on most A3 models, with manual versions being rare. It's advisable to operate it gently and regularly check if the knob is sticking to prolong its lifespan. If you encounter any issues, it's best to consult the manual or visit a professional workshop for assistance.
