5. Operation
These mirrors are designed for manual adjustment and folding.
- Mirror Adjustment: To adjust the mirror glass, gently push on the edges of the mirror glass until you achieve the desired viewing angle. Ensure the mirror provides a clear view of the area behind and to the side of your vehicle.
- Manual Folding: To fold the mirror, grasp the mirror housing and gently push it towards the vehicle body until it folds inward. This protects the mirror from damage in narrow spaces or when parked. To return it to the driving position, gently pull the mirror housing outward until it locks into place.
