How to Set Up Automatic Mirror Folding After Locking the GL8?
2 Answers
Operate on the central control screen. With the vehicle powered on or started, locate the system settings on the central control screen, then find vehicle settings within the system. In the vehicle settings, find the mirror settings and enable the automatic mirror folding function when locking the vehicle. When the vehicle is locked, the exterior mirrors will automatically fold to avoid scratches.
Setting up the automatic folding feature for the GL8's rearview mirrors is quite straightforward, and I frequently use this function when driving this model. First, sit in the car, start the engine or power on the vehicle. Then, locate the control buttons on the steering wheel or the menu button on the central display. Navigate to the vehicle settings section, select convenience features or mirror settings, and enable the auto-fold mirrors when locking option. After saving the settings, test by locking the car—the mirrors will immediately fold in to protect the vehicle from scratches, which is especially handy when parking in tight spaces. If this option isn’t available in the menu, you may need to check your vehicle’s trim level or visit a dealership for a software update, as some base models might require an additional module. I’ve tested it multiple times myself to ensure the function works properly before driving off, avoiding the hassle of manual operation. In short, always check the manual first for the correct path—it saves time and ensures a smooth setup.
