How to Use the Automatic Folding Function of CRV Rearview Mirrors?
2 Answers
CRV's automatic folding function for rearview mirrors does not require any setup once activated. Simply lock the vehicle, and the rearview mirrors will automatically fold. The CRV model's rearview mirrors support various functions such as electric adjustment, electric folding, rearview mirror heating, and automatic folding upon locking, making them highly convenient to use. Additional information is as follows: 1. Car rearview mirrors are located on both sides of the vehicle's front and inside the car. They reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the vehicle, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas. They serve as a "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. 2. The adjustment methods for electric rearview mirrors may vary, but their basic functions are the same—using motors to replace manual adjustments. When passing through narrow roads or encountering oncoming traffic, there is no need to lean out or step out to fold the mirrors, significantly improving the vehicle's maneuverability.
As a new driver who just started driving, I find the automatic folding mirror feature on the CR-V quite convenient. Generally, this feature is only supported in higher trim models. The operation is simple: when you park and turn off the engine, just press the lock button on the car key, and the side mirrors will automatically fold in; when unlocking, they will automatically unfold and return to their original position. If you're inside the car, you can also adjust it via the settings on the center console—after turning on the power, locate the mirror control switch and press the folding button. Note that when using it for the first time, check if the mirrors are stuck or loose. In rainy weather or during winter when they might freeze, manually test them to ensure smooth operation and avoid damaging the motor. Long-term use can protect the mirrors from scratches, especially in tight parking spaces. It's recommended to have a technician check the wiring and sensors during regular vehicle maintenance to prevent malfunctions.
