Where is the Land Rover mirror folding switch located?
2 Answers
The Land Rover mirror folding switch is located on the driver's side door or on the left side of the dashboard, marked with an icon resembling a rearview mirror and a curved arrow. Taking the 2020 Land Rover Discovery as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with body dimensions of 4956mm in length, 2073mm in width, and 1888mm in height, a wheelbase of 2923mm, a fuel tank capacity of 90 liters, and a curb weight of 2330kg. The 2020 Land Rover Discovery features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 300PS, a maximum power of 221kW, and a maximum torque of 400Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As a frequent driver, I'm familiar with the location of Land Rover's mirror folding switch. On most Land Rover models, such as the Range Rover or Discovery series, this switch is typically located on the inner control panel of the driver's side door, near the area with window adjustment buttons. You'll need to look for that small button or knob with a tiny icon showing the mirror folding inward; it's quite simple to operate—just press or turn it to fold or unfold the mirrors. Folding the mirrors is especially useful when parking on narrow city streets, as it prevents scratches from adjacent vehicles, saving a lot of hassle. I also use it frequently when washing my car, though the folded mirrors may accumulate dust, so it's advisable to unfold and clean them afterward. If you're unsure about the exact location, checking the user manual is the safest bet, as there might be slight variations between different model years or trim levels. If the button occasionally malfunctions, it could be due to a loose connection or a fuse issue, warranting a visit to a professional shop. Developing a habit of checking it during use ensures safer and smoother driving, avoiding distractions on the road.
