2025-02-24

Auto Side Mirror is a common feature in modern cars, usually integrated with the vehicle's electronic system. Its basic functions and effects are as follows:

Basic functions
Automatic folding function
The automatic side mirror can automatically fold or unfold according to the vehicle's status (such as locked or unlocked), reducing the risk of the mirror being scratched when parking, especially in narrow parking spaces or crowded environments.
Electric adjustment function
The driver can adjust the angle of the side mirror through the control button in the car to adapt to the vision needs of different drivers.
Heating function
In cold or wet weather conditions, the built-in heating element of the side mirror can quickly remove frost, fog or water droplets on the mirror surface to ensure a clear rear view.
Memory function
With the seat memory system, the angle setting of the side mirror can be saved together with the driver's seat position and steering wheel position, which is convenient for different drivers to quickly switch personalized settings.

Blind Spot Monitoring Assistance
The side mirrors of some high-end models are integrated with a blind spot monitoring system, which detects the blind spots on both sides of the vehicle through sensors and displays warning lights on the lenses to alert the driver to potential dangers.
Function
Improve safety
Through functions such as heating and blind spot monitoring, it ensures that the driver can get a clear view in all weather and road conditions, reducing the risk of accidents.
Enhanced convenience
The automatic folding, electric adjustment and memory functions greatly simplify the driver's operation and improve the car experience, especially when multiple people share a car.
Protect the vehicle
The automatic folding function can effectively prevent the side mirrors from being scratched or damaged when parking, extending their service life.
Optimize space utilization
In narrow spaces, the automatic folding function can help the vehicle better adapt to the environment and avoid unnecessary collisions.

The core role of Auto Side Mirror is to improve driving safety and convenience while protecting the vehicle's external components. It combines a variety of intelligent functions to provide drivers with a more comfortable and efficient driving experience, and is one of the important manifestations of the intelligent development of modern automobiles.
