I remember feeling a little confused when I first set up the auto-folding mirror function on my Audi A6, but later found it was actually quite simple. Just start the vehicle, then locate the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen. After entering, there's an option for exterior mirrors. Open this option, and you'll find a toggle switch for the auto-folding function—just check it to enable. After that, the mirrors will automatically fold when locking the car and unfold when unlocking. However, in extremely cold northern winters, it's advisable to turn off this feature to prevent freezing. The menu position might differ slightly between new and older models—if you can't find it, check the manual or ask your sales consultant. Additionally, if you temporarily need to fold the mirrors, you can manually control this function by long-pressing the lock button on the key fob, which is especially useful for roadside parking to avoid scratches.
