Where to Set Up Automatic Folding for Audi Rearview Mirrors?

[ArielDella]

Audi rearview mirror automatic folding is set via the mirror adjustment knob located on the driver's side door panel. Selecting the folding function will retract the mirrors. To enable automatic mirror folding upon locking the vehicle, you can configure it in the car's MMI system: 1. Select 'Car'; 2. Choose 'Vehicle Settings'; 3. Select 'Central Locking'; 4. Enable 'Fold Mirrors'. Audi is a German luxury automobile brand, with main models including A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, TT, R8, and the S and RS performance series.

Folding the Audi mirrors is actually quite simple, depending on the model year. My car is a 2019 A4L – just locate the rotary knob near the driver's door handle, turn it clockwise to the end at the mirror icon position to fold them. For newer models like the Q5 or A6 with touchscreens, you’ll need to access the MMI system: select the vehicle icon from the main menu, go to settings, find the central locking or mirror options, and check the auto-fold option. I’ve been manually folding them recently during snowy weather to avoid motor damage from freezing. If you can’t figure it out, the digital manual is always accessible on the center screen, much more convenient than flipping through the paper version.

As a veteran Audi owner with ten years of experience, let me tell you: there are three scenarios for the settings. For older models, locate the knob on the driver's door panel that controls the left and right mirrors, then rotate it all the way to the folding symbol. For newer models with LCD screens, the setting is usually in the central control system—access the vehicle settings menu via the steering wheel buttons, and look for options related to external lighting or door locks to enable auto-folding. By the way, some top-tier models even allow you to set the mirrors to automatically unfold when the speed exceeds 20 km/h—a feature that's both practical and safe. For first-time setup, it's recommended to power on the vehicle without starting it and proceed slowly to avoid accidentally triggering other functions.

During the test drive, the salesperson taught me: The auto-folding setting depends on the central control configuration. For traditional physical button models, locate the mirror adjustment knob on the driver's side door and turn it to the end to fold. For full touchscreen models, enter the vehicle settings menu, typically via the path: Vehicle - Settings - Central Locking, and enable the folding function there. Personal advice: avoid frequent use of auto-folding, especially in northern winters when the motor is prone to jamming. I usually opt for manual control for better reliability. After setting it up, remember to adjust the auto-tilt-down function for the side mirrors when reversing—it's more convenient when used together.
