S211 electric foling mirrors

[nickiandboris]

Hi,

I've just picked up my S211 E220 cdi Elegance and got it home.

I've noticed that when i lock the car only one mirror (drivers side) folds in and the passenger side stays out. There's no malfunction being picked up on the computer.

Is this normal or are both mirrors supposed to fold in?

I'm a bit of a novice - this is my first merc!

Think yourself lucky, I have to push a button inside to make mine fold in!

Seriously though I'm not sure but I bet someone on here will let you know soon enough. What does it say in the manual?

Should be both or none! Selectable in the cluster menu

Suspect a broken wire at the mirror hinge, quite common.

Thanks very much, will take it down to the dealers to be checked. Hopefully it won't be too expensive to sort out!?

It's awful to have to push a button isn't it? I remember the old days where you had to walk round the car to physically push them in and adjust them with a little stick!! ha ha!

give it a gentle shove when you lock, it may just be stuck..

Hurrah! One gentle shove and it works! Two folding mirrors!

Thanks Jay

I'm far too old and lazy for that now
