How to Properly Fold Electric Mirrors 

As a user, folding electric mirrors is actually not difficult to do, but many laypeople still do not know how. In fact, there are also quite a few who still close them manually. 

In fact, this method is clearly wrong because it can cause damage to the mirror and make it less durable. Therefore, you need to know how to fold this advanced mirror on vehicles such as Daihatsu cars. 

Make Sure the Car is Stopped and Not in Use

Before you close this mirror, make sure the vehicle is in a stopped condition and does not require the use of the mirror. This is quite important as it can avoid disturbances during the folding process later on. 

Press the Button Located on the Right Door Dashboard 

After ensuring that the vehicle is stopped and not in use, you can press the button located on the dashboard of the right door. The button is usually equipped with a square symbol. 

Its function is to fold and unfold the mirror glass automatically. So, when you press that button, it will immediately activate the electric folding mechanism of the mirror. 

Fold the Mirror for Narrow Roads

When you drive a car, you may have passed through narrow roads or limited parking spaces. In such conditions, it is highly recommended to fold the mirror first to reduce the risk of collisions or damage due to friction from surrounding objects. 

Fold When the Car is Locked 

Don't forget to fold the mirrors when the car is locked to prevent any damage that may occur while the vehicle is parked. Some cars are also equipped with features that allow the vehicle to be locked automatically.
