How to fold the outside mirrors on a Kia EV4
The EV4 manual covers both powered and manual mirror housings. Identify your type before folding: the documented hand movement for a manual mirror should not be applied to an electric folding unit.
Checked against the MY2027 English owner manual for this model on 27 October 2026. Equipment and software can differ; use the instructions and controls fitted to your own vehicle.
For electric folding mirrors, press the folding button to fold or unfold them. For the manual type, fold the housing towards the rear or unfold it towards the front of the vehicle.
Before you start
Park and check the space around each housing. Never fold or adjust the mirrors while driving. If ice is restricting the mechanism, do not force it.
