GL8 rearview mirror folding button switch is generally located at the electric window button position. Below is more information about rearview mirror folding: 1. Types of rearview mirror folding: The rearview mirror folding function refers to the ability of the side rearview mirrors on both sides of the car to fold and retract when necessary, which can be divided into manual and electric types. 2. Function of rearview mirror folding: During driving, vehicles are inevitably prone to some accidents. As the widest component installed on the vehicle, the rearview mirror is most susceptible to impact in case of side collisions. To minimize scratches, the rearview mirror needs to have a folding function. Rearview mirrors with folding capability 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, effectively avoiding scratches.
When driving the GL8, I frequently use the power-folding mirrors button located on the control panel to the left of the steering wheel, usually slightly left of the center console. There's a small icon indicating the mirror folding symbol. A single press neatly retracts the side mirrors, which is incredibly convenient. When I first discovered this feature, I found it highly practical, especially in tight parking spaces or underground garages, preventing mirror scrapes from adjacent vehicles. The GL8's design is user-friendly with tactile, easy-to-operate buttons. If you can't locate it, check the small switch area near the door handle where various functions are often integrated. Overall, knowing this button's position enhances daily driving convenience and safety – it's all about forming the habit.
When I first bought the GL8, it took me a while to locate the power-folding mirror button. It's usually located in the switch cluster on the driver's door handle - that small panel with the folding mirror icon. Just press it gently. I find this feature particularly useful for urban parking, like roadside or mall spaces, eliminating worries about mirror damage. I use it frequently, especially when squeezing into tight spots - quick folding makes it super convenient. Occasionally when the button doesn't respond, I'll check if the auto-fold option is enabled in vehicle settings or restart the system. This thoughtful detail really makes driving easier. I recommend getting familiar with these small controls around the driver's position to improve daily driving efficiency.
