You can fold the wing mirrors on a Mini by using the lock button on your car key.
Folding the wing mirrors on your Mini can be a convenient way to protect them in tight parking spots or narrow garages. While some Mini models have interior controls, the provided reference specifically highlights one method involving the key fob, which is a widely available function across many Mini vehicles equipped with power-folding mirrors.
Using Your Key Fob
According to the reference, a simple method to fold your mirrors is by using the lock button on your key:
- Push and hold the lock button on your Mini's key fob.
- Keep holding the button for a moment, and the wing mirrors will fold inwards.
This method is quick and easy to use as you are walking away from the car.
Automatic Unfolding
The reference also mentions the behaviour when you return to your vehicle:
- When you unlock the car, the wing mirrors will automatically fold back out to their normal position, ready for driving.
This automatic function ensures you don't forget to unfold them before setting off.
While other methods like using an interior switch might exist on some models, the reference specifically details the key fob method as a primary way to control the folding function.
