Exterior mirrors

Folding / unfolding functional description

~1min read

Operating the mirror selection and folding switch alternately folds or unfolds the mirrors.

Locking or superlocking the vehicle's doors automatically folds the mirrors.

The mirrors unfold automatically when the ignition key is turned to +APC.

If the mirror meets an obstacle while folding or unfolding, it stops moving.

Important: If the mirror is moved by force, the mirror folding mechanism disengages.

The electrical state of the mirror position no longer matches the mechanical position of the mirrors.

To re-engage the mechanism and align the electrical state of the mirror position with the mechanical position of the mirrors, several fold and unfold commands may be needed (depending on the initial state).

The driver can disable the automatic folding / unfolding.

Pressing and holding the mirror fold switch for more than 3 seconds disables or enables the automatic function, depending on the initial state.
