How to Set the Rearview Mirrors to Fold When Locking the Lavida?

[KhloeFitz]

Here are the methods to set the rearview mirrors of the Lavida to fold when locking the car: 1. When parking, press and hold the lock button for more than 3 seconds, and the rearview mirrors will automatically fold, with all windows closing simultaneously. 2. Upon unlocking the car, the rearview mirrors will automatically unfold; pressing and holding for more than 3 seconds will open all windows (useful for releasing hot air inside the car in advance during summer). Additional information about the rearview mirror auto-folding feature is as follows: The rearview mirror auto-folding when locking the car refers to the automatic folding of the rearview mirrors after the driver locks the car. If the Lavida is equipped with this feature, it not only protects the rearview mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space requirements, effectively avoiding scratches. Additionally, it prevents pedestrians from colliding with the rearview mirrors, which could lead to injuries or damage to the mirrors.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for a long time, and setting the side mirrors to fold when locking the car is super convenient. After you get in the car, don't start the engine, just power it on. Then, look for the settings menu on the central control screen, tap into it, and select either vehicle settings or external options. Find the section for mirror folding. There's an option called "Auto-fold when locking," just check that box and you're done. Next time you lock the car, the mirrors will fold in automatically. This is especially useful for parking in residential areas, preventing the mirrors from getting scratched in narrow spaces, and it also extends the lifespan of the mirror components. Before I set this up, I often forgot to fold the mirrors manually, and one time they got damaged, costing me a few hundred to repair. After setting it up, it's much more worry-free, especially on rainy days or in winter when you don't want to step out to do it. I recommend checking your vehicle manual to confirm the exact path, as menu options might vary slightly between different models and versions, but it's generally in this location.
