How to Set Up Auto-Folding Mirrors When Locking the GL8?

[MichaelLee]

Before setting up the auto-folding mirrors when locking the car, park the vehicle in a safe area or garage. Start the vehicle to power on the central control screen. Operate on the central control screen: find "System Settings," then "Vehicle Settings," and finally "Mirror Settings." Turn on the "Auto-Folding Mirrors When Locking" function. When the vehicle is locked, the exterior mirrors will automatically fold to avoid scratches.

I remember when I used to drive the GL8, the most annoying thing was always forgetting to fold the rearview mirrors. Later, I discovered a super simple setup method: first, sit in the driver's seat and start the vehicle, then find the settings menu button on the left side of the steering wheel. Scroll up and down to select the vehicle settings section, where there's an option for mirror folding—just check the 'auto-fold when locking' box. However, note that the menu location might differ between new and older models; my 2020 model had it in the middle of the second page. After making the change, I tested it, and the mirrors snapped right in when locking—super convenient. Without this feature, you'd have to buy a module from Taobao and install it yourself, which involves removing door panels and wiring, quite a hassle.
