Why don't the mirrors fold when locking an Audi A6?
2 Answers
Audi A6's mirror folding when locking requires pressing the mirror folding button located on the door. Here is an introduction about Audi cars: 1. Models under the brand: Audi A3, Audi A5, Audi A6L, Audi Q3, Audi S4, etc. 2. Introduction to Audi A6L: The front suspension is a five-link independent suspension, and the rear suspension is also a five-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum power of 140kW, maximum torque of 320Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving an Audi A6 for several years and have personally experienced this issue. The side mirrors not folding after locking the car is usually caused by minor issues, most often due to settings not being enabled or mechanical faults. Start the engine, navigate to the MMI menu on the central display, enter the vehicle settings section, and check if the automatic mirror folding option is turned on; sometimes settings reset after button operations. If the mirrors work when manually pressing the folding button but not when locking the car, it indicates the system is fine but the settings are incorrect. Also, check if there are any obstructions on the mirrors, such as ice buildup or dust accumulation—I usually clean them manually during car washes. If everything seems normal, it might be a blown fuse—the relevant fuse locations are in the trunk's fuse box, with diagrams available in the manual. Don’t rush to seek repairs; solving minor issues yourself can save a lot of trouble.
