How do I fold the side view mirrors?

The side view mirrors can be folded in to decrease the width of your car. You should always fold the mirrors in when parked on a busy street, or when in an automatic car wash. To fold in the mirrors, simply push them towards the door until the lock into place. Pull the mirrors back out before driving.
