Hi

I've got a 2012 FL 2 GS. It has powerfold mirrors but they don't fold automatically when I lock the car.

Is there a way to switch auto-folding on or is it not something I get with the GS?

Thanks for any info

set the mirrors where you want them then press and hold both buttons, on door control panel, together. Fixed.

Doesn't seem to work on mine. Pressing the two buttons together folds the mirror but it doesn't make it automatic on locking/unlocking. Should I be doing something else at the same time as pressing the buttons - scratching my head; singing the national anthem...?

AUTOMATIC FOLDING
The mirrors can be configured by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer to automatically fold when the vehicle is locked, and unfold when it is unlocked.
Note: If the mirrors were folded using the switches, they will not unfold when the vehicle is unlocked.

Ah OK. Not something I can do myself, then. Shame

You can turn auto folding on or off in the menu on MY13 or younger cars yourself, but I'm not sure on older cars. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Hi,
our 2013 GS auto folds the mirrors when locking, as said ^ istr its in the menu options set to auto fold or not

2013 has led front lights and epb does yours  .
my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars!
But its now gone way up Norf

Yep, too old for that

Easily done with SDD and a Mongoose cable or an iidtool but learning to use SDD is priceless and requires a good constant battery voltage supply charger and per our Freel2.com tech savants, also, a few pairs of brown pants. I s**t you not!

Phone around to some independents that may have the required equipment.......?

I thought on models fitted with the folding mirrors upto 2012 (pre MY13 facelift) you could configure them yourself by manually folding them in or out by hand ?

so with the car locked, mirrors out.... manually push the mirrors in.....then when you unlock the car the mirrors should then auto fold in/out when you lock/unlock the car ??

the reverse to leave the mirrors non folding

could be wrong though, it has been known to happen

Note: If the mirrors are manually folded or knocked into the folded position accidentally, the mirror head will be loose. To re-engage the mechanism, fold, then unfold the mirrors using the switches.

I think that the manual folding was to avoid mirrors opening automatically when you unlocked.

I to have a 2012 gs and have automatic folding mirrors, it didn’t fold automatically when I got is and so did something and it worked but I can’t remember how. No tools involved that was for sure. GS Sd4 2012

The plot thickens...

So there is hope
