So as far as I'm aware, deadlocking is when you press the button a second time and it disables the door handles from within the car or something, but in doing so it also folds the mirrors... well it used to...
I don't think the nob has to be in a particular position however I have tried it in all positions!
precisely why i put this question forward.
pressing twice disables the deadlocks.
one press is the standard 'secure' option.
two presses being the less secure option.
It would make no sense to have a security feature that you have to opt into by pressing a second time. i also so see no reason why folding mirrors would be linked to deactivating deadlocks.
if you want to be sure, try it your self, sit in the car and experiment.
