• Fold outside mirrors in and down 

General 

The outside mirrors can each be folded in and out via an electric motor. This function offers the following advantages:

• The risk of damage to a parked vehicle is reduced.
• The vehicle's space requirement in narrow garages and passages can be reduced.

Function requirements 

• Function activated via the multimedia system (automatic folding in/out)
• Circuit 15R ON (fold down via the switch for folding outside mirrors in/down)
• Circuit 15 ON (fold in via the switch for folding outside mirrors in/down)

Fold outside mirrors in and down 

The electric motors can be actuated via the outside mirror fold in/out switch or automatically.

With each request, both outside mirrors are folded in or down. The electric motors are actuated in this connection for 5 s in the corresponding direction.

A new request reverses an already active actuation.

To ensure that the outside mirrors are folded down securely, the electric motors are actuated for 1 s when a speed of 47 km/h is exceeded.

Outside mirrors that are folded in are folded down automatically under the following conditions:

• When the vehicle is unlocked and the driver's door is subsequently opened
• When circuit 15R is ON

Outside mirrors that are folded down are folded in automatically when the vehicle is locked.

The outside mirrors can be folded in and down at any time using the switch for folding outside mirrors in/down.

As from a speed of 47 km/h, the outside mirrors can no longer be folded in.
