The "Unfold mirrors only on ignition" feature in a car refers to a setting that controls the automatic operation of side mirrors (typically power-folding mirrors). Here's how it works:
Standard Folding Mirrors: Many cars, especially those with power-folding side mirrors, can automatically fold or unfold based on certain actions. When the car is locked, the mirrors may fold in for added protection in tight spaces. When the car is unlocked or started, they typically unfold to their normal driving position.
Unfold Mirrors Only on Ignition: With this specific feature activated, the side mirrors will only unfold when the ignition is turned on, i.e., when the engine starts or when the car is powered up. This means that the mirrors do not automatically unfold when you unlock the car or open the door, but will instead wait for the ignition to be engaged.
This setting can be useful in certain situations, such as preventing the mirrors from unfolding prematurely when you are just unlocking the car or entering it, but want them to unfold when you're ready to drive. It gives more control over the timing of mirror unfolding, often reducing wear or preventing unnecessary movements.
