Electric mirror adjustment — disable methods

Tags: #mirror · #low-confidence · #conflict

Some advice here concerns sub-zero winters and is less relevant in a hot climate.

Community members disagree on this topic — both positions are reported.

Electric mirror adjustment can reportedly be disabled via two methods: (1) remove the battery/connector at the mirror; or (2) disable it through the launcher app by accessing comfort-module settings. Relevant for owners who want manual-only mirror control (low-confidence report — not independently verified) 12.

Disabling automatic mirror-fold on door lock: to stop the mirrors from auto-folding when the car locks, close the car with the door lock button, then immediately open the rear door with your other hand while the car is still in the process of locking — the goal is to catch the moment the mirrors are folding and interrupt the sequence by opening the door. This may take several attempts to time correctly. Once achieved, mirrors stay unfolded whether the car is locked or opened, and the effect persists through winter driving 34. ⚠️ Conflict/gap: one owner (Алексей) reports success with this method; another (Konstantin) asks whether it can be reversed back to auto-fold, but no verified reversal procedure has been documented in the group 56.

Disable auto-fold via battery disconnect (with re-enable steps) — resolves the gap above: to disable the auto-fold mirror feature, disconnect the negative battery terminal for 15 minutes; once reconnected, the mirrors stop folding automatically on lock. To re-enable auto-fold, manually fold/unfold the mirrors 3 times using the mirror-control button — this re-teaches the comfort module the auto-fold behavior 7.

Related: the variant of the door trick (lock with one hand, open and quickly close the rear door; works on both mirrors) and the cut-the-motor-wire / StarLine A63 options are in [Side mirror assembly — folding motor failure]](../body-exterior/side-mirror-assembly-and-folding-motor.md).
