Power Fold Mirrors

Clearview Power Fold, leading the way in Towing Mirrors.

What is Power Fold?

The term Power Fold is a feature within a vehicle’s side mirror, which allows the side mirrors to electrically fold in towards the body of the vehicle, and electrically fold out.

The Power Folding functionality is useful when parking in tight spaces, protecting the mirrors from being clipped by passing vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians. It’s also great when 4WDing to get you out of a tight spot!

The mirror is designed to electrically fold towards the body of the vehicle and fold back out again when the vehicle is locked/unlocked via:

the key fob
the touch panel on the door handle
the button inside the vehicle
when opening or closing the door
when starting or turning off the engine

Power Fold Towing Mirrors on vehicles with proximity locking will also fold in when the vehicle automatically locks.

All vehicles are different and therefore the functionality of your new Clearview Power Fold Towing Mirrors will “mirror” the standard functionality of your original factory mirrors. Power Fold functionality is only available for vehicles with pre-existing factory electric folding mirrors. Clearview Mirrors cannot add functionality to a vehicle that didn’t have the functionality to start with. For specific information on your vehicle, refer to your Owner’s Manual.

*Options may vary depending on make, model and year of vehicle. Clearview Towing mirrors do not extend or retract electrically.

Whilst Clearview Power Fold Towing Mirrors are motorised, allowing them to fold or unfold at the press of a button, non-Power Fold Towing Mirrors are also available for most models.

Do I need Towing Mirrors?

One of the most important factors when it comes to road safety is the ability to see what’s going on around you and your vehicle. Standard mirrors often don’t provide the vision required when towing large objects, such as caravans. Towing mirrors are required by law in Australia when towing anything wider than your vehicle.

If your side mirrors are ineffective with the trailer hitched up, Clearview Towing Mirrors provide the extra visibility required to see you safely to your destination.

Clearview Towing Mirrors aren’t just great for reversing, they also provide the extra visibility to be aware of vehicles coming up behind you, wanting to overtake.

Vehicles nowadays include an advanced level of technology which is often incorporated into their side mirrors. These features can include Outside Air Temperature (OAT) Sensors, GPS, AM-FM, Blindspot Monitoring Systems and 360-degree Cameras.

Clearview Accessories® has been manufacturing Towing Mirrors since 2009 and has experienced the rapid advancement of technology first-hand.

Our customers don’t want to compromise on their vehicle’s features when they install towing mirrors, and it’s for this reason that we’ve remained at the forefront of emerging mirror technologies.

We have long-standing relationships with the vehicle manufacturers and work closely with them to develop OE Authorised Towing Mirrors. This becomes more important as technology advances and unapproved mirrors can result in fault codes and loss of functionality, such as driver assist functions.

Clearview Towing Mirrors® are a full replacement towing mirrors designed to replace your vehicle’s standard side mirrors.

THREE MIRROR TYPES
