Electric Folding Door Mirrors

[Deleted member 12175]

How do these work?

Are they the same as the Ibiza where you turn the knob to fold them in or are they like other manufacturers when when you turn the engine on they fold out and then fold in when you remove the key?

They do both, if you turn the knob they will fold in and you can manually fold them out, or you can hold the lock button on the keyfob which will fold them in and they automagically fold out when you put the 1st stage of the ignition on.

You learn something new every day. I really should read the handbook. I thought the only way you could fold them in was by using the twiddly-knob thingy (technical name for it) just behind the handbrake. I'm going out to try it right now!!!

If you have the windows open it closes them for you too!

Incidentially if you keep the unlock button pressed it winds the windows down part way too.

 

[Garfey]

Also if you press and hold Unlock it will open all the windows for you too..mucho cool

Damn, just beaten to it!

[bigbaws]

Now that is cool!
That has just made my day.
Any other cool tricks?? Someone said if you put the key in the hole and turn it, you can drive it too!!! (I'm not sure about that one)

Have you noticed that if you're driving along with the wipers on then stop at a junction it switches to intermittent? I though I was going mad the first couple of times that happened.

Not really that cool, but if you press the AUTO button on the dual zone climate control (where fitted) in for 3 secs it lets you adjust the temperature of both side of the car with just the one button rather than having to adjust each side seperately.
