Why don't the mirrors automatically fold when locking the Teana?
2 Answers
The mirrors of the Teana do not automatically fold when locking because this feature is not set. Below are relevant details: 1. In terms of safety features, the Teana includes the VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control System, TCS Traction Control System, ITS Intelligent Trace Control System, AVM Around View Monitor, HSA Hill Start Assist, and TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System. 2. For the interior, it comes with a multifunction steering wheel, ESC Electronic Stability Control, a liquid crystal display screen, CARWINGS Intelligent Navigation System and telematics system, automatic air conditioning, and more. It is equipped with a 3D information display system, Bluetooth system, ECO-DRIVE energy-saving driving assist system, NAVI navigation system, and CARWINGS voice recognition system. The rear seats have additional noise reduction treatments, with air conditioning and audio controls installed on the rear seats, which also feature massage functions. 3. The exterior design of the Teana has shifted from its originally conservative style to a more youthful and dynamic look. The three black grilles on the front grille have been changed to silver, and chrome side moldings have been added to the body. The front and rear lights feature a "shark-style" design for better visual impact. Dynamic design elements have been incorporated into the body lines to highlight fashion and sportiness. The edges of the front grille are adorned with chrome trim to enhance the premium feel.
My Teana has been running for five or six years, and the most common issue with the side mirrors not automatically folding after locking is usually related to the vehicle system settings. Open the central control screen and check the settings menu to ensure the auto-folding function hasn’t been accidentally turned off. If the settings are correct, try the manual folding button to see if it works. If it doesn’t, the switch might be damaged or the fuse might have blown—you’ll need to pop the hood and check the fuse box to replace the corresponding one. If replacing the fuse doesn’t help, the internal motor or actuator might be faulty, or the wiring harness could have aged and caused a disconnection. In winter, freezing can also cause the mirrors to get stuck, so handle them gently. Not having auto-folding affects parking safety, especially in narrow alleys where the mirrors are prone to getting scraped. I recommend using a temporary manual solution for now and scheduling a visit to a professional repair shop to check the motor and wiring. In daily use, avoid frequent switching and have technicians inspect this function during regular maintenance.
