I picked my 4S up today and spent a few happy minutes setting it up. 'Covid safety' meant a short handover, however.
I maybe being stupid but I can't find the setting for the folding door mirrors. I did spec it so it should be there. And I can't get the comfort access for the frunk to work. Probably the same menu.
Any pointers?

If you have it, there is a button to activate it on the driver door. Below the window buttons. The setting is in veichle settings and locks something. «Fold mirrors when locking the veichle». I can check in 30mins if no one else comes to your rescue.

Thanks JonasOfNorway and galaxyclass.

I am probably just being dense (so that light bends around me :rolleyes:). I will have another look tomorrow.

If I remember correctly you can also hold the lock button on key fob for a few secs and that folds them in

Even though I knew where my folding mirror button was I didn't know about all the other locking / unlocking settings. So, thanks. :)

Doesn't work for my car.

Maybe hold the lock button after the car has been locked. Not used this since I changed the settings so it’s been a while

Thanks everyone. I managed to find the setting for the auto fold door mirrors this morning. Frunk is still reluctant tho. I’ll keep trying.

After countless times, I still cannot get the mirrors to foldin by locking the car and then holding the lock button down... Anyone in US/Canada got it to work? Maybe it's a regional thing again...

It appears it may be equipment dependent.
Page 161 US manual item D. Do you have this button?
Page 162 US manual discusses the fob technique previously mentioned and the PCM screen set up in vehicle settings.
Have you tried in Settings? I imagine if you have the required equipment it would allow you to set it up in settings.
Hope you have it.

Thanks for the feedback... Yes, I have the option to fold in the mirrors and the "D" button... I don't want the mirrors to automatically fold in when locking... so I didn't pick this option in the PCM... just want to do it after getting out of the car by pressing the remote...

@bosch88 Maybe you need to tick the settings option to Fold in exterior Mirrors when locking to make the key fob lock symbol set this up.
The mirrors only go in with this box selected with comfort access if you touch the door handle. Possibly it needs to be selected for the key fob also. Just a thought.
