3 Answers
Audi Q5L rearview mirror automatic folding setting method is: 1. Find the rearview mirror adjustment button on the driver's side door handle; 2. Rotate the topmost button to set the folding function. Relevant information about the Audi Q5L is as follows: 1. Taking the new Q5L as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase of 2908mm, minimum ground clearance of 179mm, and a curb weight of 1855kg. 2. The new Q5L is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum torque of 320Nm, maximum power of 140kW, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Open the driver's side door and you'll see the window control area - that mirror adjustment knob is the key. Turn the knob to the bottom-right position marked with a small folding car icon, and the mirrors will enter standby mode. They'll automatically fold when you lock the car and unfold when unlocked. A reminder: it's best to disable this feature during snowy northern winters, as folded mirrors can freeze and damage the motor. Here's a hidden setting: in the vehicle settings on the central display, find the 'Central Door Lock' menu and check 'Fold Mirrors' to fully activate the auto-folding function. Just adjusting the knob without checking this box doesn't completely enable the feature.
I've been driving the Q5L for three years, and the auto-folding feature is quite practical. There's a round knob on the center console to the left of the start button. Rotate it clockwise all the way to align with the car symbol icon, and a slight click sound indicates it's set. When locking the car, the mirrors will automatically fold in, which is especially helpful in narrow alleys to reduce the risk of scratches. Here's a little tip: if you notice the mirrors don't unfold completely after unlocking, it's likely due to dust buildup in the pivot. I spray a bit of WD-40 lubricant into the pivot seams every month—just remember not to fold them immediately after spraying; let the oil fully penetrate first.
