How to Set the Auto-Folding Mirrors When Locking the Audi A6L?
3 Answers
You can use the seat and mirror memory function on the door panel to record the most suitable position. When the mirrors need to be folded, select the driver's side or passenger's side mirror and adjust it by turning the folding knob on the left door panel in the cabin. If the exterior mirrors are accidentally bumped or manually moved out of position, they can be restored by performing an electric folding and unfolding operation once. Click the function button CAR, control button CAR, vehicle system, vehicle settings, central locking, fold exterior mirrors, and select ON in sequence.
I've been driving an Audi A6L for a while, and setting up the auto-folding mirrors when locking the car is actually quite simple, mainly operated via the central control screen. First, you need to sit in the car, start the engine or power up the vehicle, then locate the round control knob near the steering wheel and click to enter the main menu. Second, select the 'Vehicle' or 'Settings' icon, find the 'Central Locking' or similar option, and browse carefully—there should be 'Mirror Settings' or 'Auto Fold.' Third, click to enable the 'Auto Fold When Locking' feature, and remember to save the settings. This feature is super convenient, especially for city parking, eliminating the need to manually fold the mirrors each time you exit the car, preventing scratches and saving space. However, note that if the car battery is low, it might not work temporarily, so it's best to check the battery status regularly.
As someone who enjoys tinkering with vehicle features, I find setting up the mirror folding function quite enjoyable. First, you need to turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine, but make sure the screen is lit. Then, in the main menu, look for the "Settings & Services" section, and enter the "Vehicle Settings" submenu, where various options will be listed. Select "Central Locking Control," then scroll down—there’s usually a "Mirrors" or "Mirror Adjustment" section. Enable the "Auto-Folding Mirrors" option. After completing this, test it by locking the car to see if the mirrors fold automatically. This feature relies on the electronic system, so if the car occasionally doesn’t respond, it might be due to unsaved settings or a minor software glitch. Try restarting the car or checking the key fob settings. Daily use can help avoid mirror damage in tight parking spaces, but don’t forget to clean the mirror joints occasionally.
