How it works
Pressing a button folds the mirrors in. Pressing the button again folds the exterior mirrors back out. With convenient closing, it is possible to code the exterior mirrors such that they fold in automatically. If the central locking is unlocked, the exterior mirrors then fold back out automatically. Using the button in the driver's door switch block to fold in the exterior mirrors suppresses the automatic folding out of the mirrors (e.g. when parking in a narrow garage).
Slide switch position
The automatic parking function is not available if the slide switch is set to the front-passenger door.
