Sienna's rearview mirrors feature automatic folding functionality. By pressing and holding the lock button, the windows will automatically roll up and the rearview mirrors will fold in. Below is an introduction to the folding rearview mirrors: 1. During driving, unexpected incidents are inevitable. As the widest component installed on a vehicle, rearview mirrors are most susceptible to impacts, leading to potential scratches. To minimize such damage, the folding feature for rearview mirrors is essential. 2. Rearview mirrors with folding capability can retract when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's passability. When the driver leaves the car, folding the rearview mirrors not only protects the mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space requirements, effectively avoiding scrapes.

I've been driving the Sienna for several years and found that the auto-folding mirror setting is hidden in the vehicle settings menu. You need to sit in the driver's seat, start the car, and press the control button on the right side of the steering wheel. On the small screen in the middle of the dashboard, look for the "Settings" or "Vehicle Settings" option. After entering, scroll to find the "Mirrors" section, where there's an option called "Auto Fold" or similar. Once enabled, the mirrors will automatically fold every time you lock the car or press the key fob, which is quite convenient. Remember, this feature can prevent mirror damage in tight parking spaces. I always keep it on, and it becomes really handy once you get used to it.

As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, I'm very familiar with the Sienna's settings. The auto-folding mirrors are mainly configured through the steering wheel buttons: start the car, press the right directional button to enter the menu, select "Settings," then go to the "Door Mirrors" submenu. Find the "Auto Fold" function and turn it on. Some model years also require pairing with the key—press the lock button once to test if it folds properly. I've seen many owners accidentally disable this feature and then wonder why it's not working, so I recommend first checking the key battery or ensuring the vehicle settings are saved. Regularly using this feature can reduce wear and tear, especially useful for preventing scratches when parking in the city.

My Sienna is brand new, and I've set up the auto-folding mirrors. The steps are simple: sit in the car, start the engine, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to bring up the menu, go to the "Vehicle Settings" section, and find the "Mirrors" menu. After enabling the "Auto Fold" option, the mirrors will automatically retract when you lock the car. If you have the key fob, pressing the lock button twice can manually trigger the folding, which is quite flexible. I find this feature especially useful in garages or when parking on the street, as it prevents the mirrors from getting damaged.
