To turn off the location-based auto-folding mirrors on your Tesla, you need to remove the specific saved location where the mirrors are set to automatically fold. This feature allows your mirrors to unfold once you leave that designated spot.
Step-by-Step Guide to Disable Location Auto-Fold Mirrors
If your Tesla's mirrors are currently set to automatically fold at a specific location, here's how to disable that setting:
- Be at the Saved Location: Ensure your Tesla is at the precise location where the mirrors usually fold automatically.
- Access Controls: On your Tesla's touchscreen, touch Controls.
- Unfold Mirrors: While the mirrors are folded at the saved location, touch Unfold Mirrors.
- Remove Location: Immediately after touching "Unfold Mirrors," an option to Remove Location will appear. Touch this option to disable the automatic folding for that specific geographical spot.
By following these steps, your Tesla will no longer automatically fold its mirrors when you arrive at or depart from that previously saved location.
When Mirrors Unfold After Leaving a Saved Location
Even if you don't manually remove the location, your Tesla's mirrors are designed to unfold under specific conditions once you leave a saved auto-fold location:
- Speed-Based Unfolding: The mirrors will automatically unfold when your driving speed reaches 3 mph (6 km/h).
- Manual Unfolding: You can always manually unfold the mirrors by touching Controls and then Unfold Mirrors on your touchscreen.
This process ensures that you have control over the mirror folding behavior, whether through automatic triggers or manual intervention.
