2 Answers
BMW X1 rearview mirror automatic folding setup method is: 1. Continuously press the left arrow button on the multifunction steering wheel; 2. Release the button when the setup tab appears on the instrument panel menu interface; 3. Click the right button on the steering wheel to enter the setup interface; 4. After entering, click setup; 5. After entering, click the rearview mirror tab; 6. Select the automatic folding option. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4565mm, width 1821mm, height 1620mm, wheelbase of 2780mm, fuel tank capacity of 61L, and trunk capacity of 505L.
Setting up the automatic folding feature for the BMW X1's mirrors is quite straightforward, typically done through the iDrive system. I remember during my last adjustment - after sitting in the driver's seat and starting the vehicle, I tapped the settings menu on the central display, located the vehicle settings option where there's a locking configuration. Inside that menu, simply toggle on the mirror folding function. The mirrors will then automatically fold when you turn off the engine or lock the car to prevent scratches. You can also trigger folding by holding the lock button on the remote key for a few seconds - super convenient. If you can't find the option, a software update might be needed; BMW's official website provides free upgrade instructions. Remember to clean the mirror pivots during regular maintenance to prevent jamming and damage - saves both money and hassle.
