W211 - E320 - 2009 Fold in wing mirrors

[David404]

Hi Folks

Perhaps I was expecting too much but...

Fold in mirrors work fine on the switch. They are NOT set to fold in automatically on parking but I know how to change that.

After parking and folding the mirrors in on the switch I was half expecting them to fold out again automatically when I return to the car and drive off.

Am I expecting too much or missing a setting somewhere?

No you have to press button again to fold out.

On automatic settings, the mirrors will close automatically when the car is locked & open automatically when you open a door.

On manual settings, the mirrors will only close/open from the button operated switch inside of the car, the mirrors will not open or close via any other action such as locking the car, opening the door or driving. I guess this can be used for in very tight situations where the wing mirror is in the way - you wouldn't want it opening up.
