Where is the mirror folding switch for Audi Q3?
2 Answers
The mirror folding switch for the Audi Q3 is located on the driver's left door panel. Simply press the button when you need to fold the mirrors. The mirror folding function allows the side mirrors on both sides of the car to be folded inward when necessary, and it comes in both manual and electric versions. Here is more related information: Electric mirror folding: 1. Electric mirror folding means the side mirrors on both sides of the car can be folded inward when needed. This feature is particularly useful when parking on city streets, as folding the mirrors saves a significant amount of space and prevents potential damage to the mirrors (often referred to as "broken ears"). 2. Accidents can happen while driving, and the side mirrors, being the widest components installed on the vehicle, are most susceptible to impact in case of a side collision. To minimize damage, mirrors with folding capabilities are essential. Foldable mirrors can be retracted when passing through narrow passages, improving the vehicle's maneuverability. Additionally, when the driver leaves the car, folding the mirrors not only protects the mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space, effectively avoiding scratches.
When driving my Audi Q3, I noticed the power-folding mirror switch is located on the driver's side left door panel, near the window sill. There's a round knob with a mirror icon - just rotate it clockwise all the way until you hear a click to automatically fold the mirrors. Besides manual operation, you can also set auto-folding upon locking through the infotainment screen, allowing the mirrors to retract when you walk away and press the key fob after turning off the engine. Remember not to force folding in sub-zero temperatures as frozen mirrors may jam the motor. The auto-dipping function when reversing is quite practical too - all these settings can be adjusted in the vehicle system. New owners should bookmark the mirror-folding section in the manual for quick reference.
