You can close your car side mirrors using the auto-folding feature if your car has it.
Auto-Folding Side Mirrors
Many modern cars have power-folding side mirrors that can be controlled automatically. The referenced video, titled "How to Use Auto-Folding and Power-Folding Side Mirrors," explains how this works on a Lexus. Here’s how to tell if your mirrors have auto-folding functionality, and how to use it.
Checking for Auto-Fold Feature
-
Button Check: Look for a specific button related to auto-folding. According to the video, the auto button is what controls if the side mirrors will automatically fold when you lock your vehicle.
-
Green Light Indicator: When the auto-folding feature is active, the auto button may show a green light or similar indication.
-
Test: Try locking your car after activating the auto-folding feature. If the side mirrors fold in when the car locks, then it's working.
How to Use Auto-Folding
-
Enable Auto-Fold: Locate the auto-folding button and ensure it is turned on (green light will likely be visible).
-
Lock Your Car: When you lock your car, the side mirrors should automatically fold inward.
-
Unlock your Car: When you unlock your car the side mirrors should unfold automatically to their regular position.
Power-Folding Side Mirrors
In addition to auto-folding, some cars have a power-folding feature, meaning there will be a button specifically for folding and unfolding the mirrors.
- Button Activation: Usually, a simple press of this button will fold or unfold the mirrors.
- Manual Control: This method allows you to fold mirrors even if the auto-folding feature isn't activated, or if you want to fold them without locking the car.
No Auto/Power Fold?
If your car lacks auto-folding or power-folding mirrors, you will need to fold them manually by hand.
