What to Do When the Nissan Teana's Mirrors Don't Automatically Fold After Locking?
2 Answers
Hold the door handle and open the door. After opening the door, enter the vehicle's main driver cabin. Press the one-touch start button to start the vehicle. Locate the mirror folding function on the left armrest in the driver's cabin, then press the mirror folding button to retract the mirrors. Press the button again to unfold the mirrors.
A few days ago, my Teana had the same issue—the mirrors wouldn't fold when locking the car, which was really frustrating. First, I checked the owner's manual and realized a setting might have been accidentally adjusted. There's a mirror folding switch on the key fob or the center console; if turned off, it won't respond. After turning the setting back on with no luck, I inspected the fuse box for the mirror fuse—sure enough, it was blown. Replacing it cost just a few bucks. Next, I manually folded the mirrors a few times to check for stiffness—sometimes dust or lack of lubrication in snowy or rainy weather can cause sticking. A quick spray of WD-40 helped. A heads-up: if none of these fixes work, the motor might be faulty or there could be wiring issues, requiring a technician to avoid compromising driving safety. It’s best to get into the habit of testing the folding function before locking the car.
