Folding Door Mirrors

[Beau Nidle]

Hi...   Picked up my car yesterday (2012 CT200H SE-L) and still getting the feel of all the controls, but initial impression is very, very favourable. One immediate point of concern, though,  is the door mirrors...   Is there any way they can be made to automatically retract when the car is locked?  My last car was a Qashqai and that needed an accessory fitment to do it and I'd like the same facitlity even if it means spending a little cash. The parking spaces at work can be a bit tight and I'm trying to avoid scrapes.

Pleased to hear.

My Dad's CT has a button here which does just that:

Hi James - thanks for that but that's not the same model as mine.

His is a premier so it may be that only the premier has the auto option in that case 

On my IS250 I can press the folding button and press it again once the car is off. That way they open automatically when I turn the car back on.

If Im not mistaken it was brought in with the facelift model

Exactly what I do on my 2015 Advance Plus

when i had my CT200H SE-L it had manual folding mirrors to retro fit would be expensive i have just seen a 2nd hand mirror dont know if it is electric or manual

but it was £299 for 1 mirror,looks like you will be folding manually .

My 2012 (pre-facelift) F-Sport came with folding door mirrors, I think it's standard equipment on the F-Sport.

Thanks, all, but I've done a bit of research and it's just not financially feasible. Like anything, it is possible if you throw enough money at it, but it's a very expensive mod for very little benefit so I'll pass on this one.

Strange my SE L Premier has auto folding mirrors which I can activate with the key fob when locking/unlocking etc. Also have the switch inside too. Funny how yours doesn't have this.

Totally agree with the over priced extra to have this item fitted. A 'Lexus' should have this as standard. Money grabbing cheapskate bas...ds. Mine didn't even have cruise control fitted as standard, although the wires were in place to have it retro fitted.
