Failure to open automatically may be an operational issue, or there may be a fault with the wiring or the rearview mirror assembly. Rearview mirror folding failure: The electric rearview mirror motor is damaged or the control switch fuse is disconnected. Due to long-term bending of the wiring during mirror folding, it may cause breakage or loose plug connections. The battery may be disconnected or out of power. Folding rearview mirrors: They can be retracted when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's passability. When the driver leaves the car, the rearview mirrors can also be folded, not only protecting the mirror surface but also reducing parking space and effectively avoiding scratches.

I once encountered a similar issue with my Audi A4 where the side mirrors wouldn’t unfold after starting the car, which was quite annoying. There are several common causes: First, the setting might have been turned off, possibly manually disabling the auto-folding function in the car’s central control system. Second, a blown fuse—if the fuse for the mirror circuit ages or overheats, it can blow, cutting off power and causing the mirrors to stop working. Third, a control module issue—the small computer responsible for opening and closing the mirrors might have a software glitch or hardware failure, preventing the startup signal from being transmitted. Fourth, wiring problems, such as loose connectors or wires chewed by rodents. Fifth, physical obstruction, like freezing in winter or debris blocking the mechanism. I found that the Audi A4’s mirror function is quite sensitive, but checking the settings or replacing the fuse usually solves the problem. Avoid forcing the mirrors manually to prevent damaging the motor.

Is the car ESP important?

Car ESP is very important. Here is the relevant information: 1. The car ESP is a very important main safety system on the vehicle. ESP plays a crucial role in car safety. As an electronic stability program, ESP can control the stability of the vehicle to a certain extent. For example, when driving on icy roads with low friction in winter, tire slippage can cause the vehicle's movement direction to become uncontrollable. At this time, ESP can intervene with the non-slipping wheels to help the vehicle return to a controllable state, ensuring driving safety. 2. The ESP system is actually a type of traction control system. Compared with other traction control systems, ESP not only controls the driving wheels but also the driven wheels. For example, in the case of oversteering, which is common in rear-wheel-drive cars, the rear wheels lose control and the vehicle fishtails. ESP will then brake the outer front wheel to stabilize the car. In the case of understeering, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel to adjust the driving direction. The ESP system usually also supports the functions of ABS and ASR. It analyzes the vehicle's driving state information from various sensors and then sends correction instructions to ABS and ASR to help the vehicle maintain dynamic balance.
