Help keep your mirrors out of harm’s way when parked on the street or in narrow spaces with folding side mirrors. They’re also heated to stay clear in cold weather, and have integrated turn signals for increased visibility.
The proximity key senses when you’re near the car, allowing you to lock and unlock the doors, as well as start the engine without ever removing the key from your pocket.
