How do I fold the side mirrors?

The side mirrors can fold in to decrease the width of your vehicle. You should always fold in the mirrors when parked on a busy street, or when driving through an automatic car wash. To fold the mirrors in, simply push them towards the door. Pull them back out to return them to their original position.
