Folding mirrors????

[scomac]

This is a bit embarrassing, but I have just realized that you can fold both side mirrors in when your off roading when the scrub starts closing in, as your moving!!!!

These vehicles just keep surprising me. now where is that D4 manual.

By the way, for the slow learners like me! You press both directional buttons down at the same time.

It is in the manual, but doesn't work for me, what have I missed?

Obvious question first, do you have power folding mirrors?


Can you have them fold automatically when you lock the vehicle?

Don't know because I cannot fold them! According to my Australian owners manual, they should fold.

Hi.

If you register with Topix if you haven't already done so and login, input your VIN and the subsequent screen shows a few details. Above them to the right opposite the Vehicle Features heading (middle of screen) is print and more details icons. Either one will bring up a list of what your car has or not installed. I have the folding mirrors as you described and the only line I could see that relates is "DU P/HEATED/MEMORY FOLD BACK". If you don't have that you probably don't have what you're looking for.

TOPix only shows DUAL POWER/HEATED MIRRORS. Can I fold them back manually? Don't want to break anything.

Hi.

Occasionally my mirrors would make a groaning sound and shudder a bit. I talked to the dealer and was told to put vaseline into the pivot area after pushing the mirror manually backwards towards the door and then forwards and backwards about 30 times to lubricate the joint. What I'm saying is that if you push the mirror towards the door it will fold in fairly easily if it can. There will be a bit of resistance becasue you're pushing past a bump stop. However be careful in case it can't fold back. Can't say definitely that you can in fact fold them back but I'd be surprised if you can't.

Martin

Nicky, do they fold back when you lock the car? If not, then they will not fold back at all sorry

That's a good point. If they fold back when you turn off the car they will no doubt be able to be folded back manually. Even if they don't it may still be possible. One of my previous cars did exactly that. No auto fold back but you could still manually fold them back.
