Mirrors do not automatically fold in

[cjblackw]

Hello All,

It looks like the California 6.1 (74 plate) has an automatic door mirror fold option when the ignition is switched off. I have ticked the box in the option, does anyone know why the function doesn't work? I have attached a picture of the option in the MMI.

Thanks a lot. Charles

If you hold the lock button down on the key fob for 2-3 seconds when locking the vehicle then the mirrors will fold in. They won't fold in if you just press the lock button quickly to lock the vehicle.
The reason for this is apparently because its based on a commercial vehicle and if used for example as a delivery van then it avoids the mirrors folding every time the driver makes a stop, and the wear and tear that would create on the servo motors.

Thanks Andy - that makes perfect sense (although I'm not sure I agree with VW's logic but hay ho .. ). Charles

I turned that option on using Carista if I remember correctly and my mirrors fold automatically when you lock the vehicle
