Auto Folding mirrors IS250

Verbout · January 29, 2016

I'll have a look Steve, not overly bothered if I don't have it.

It seems to cause more issues that it's worth

The auto-fold feature can be enabled/disabled with the satellite switch to the right of the steering wheel.

Verbout · January 30, 2016

No, don't have it, the satellite switch has: park assist, speed and tachometer setting only.

Nevermind

no it cannot, unless it a feature of 2010+ FSport models.

Yes it can.....well it does on my 2009 IS250C.

I did it just a couple of weeks ago to avoid it being frozen in the closed position in the morning.

A is250C is not the same car, I guess this is a feature of them models.

Mine has the auto fold/unfold from the satellite switch.

I guess certain cars have this feature. Mines a 2010 is250 f sport.

"A is250C is not the same car, I guess this is a feature of them models..

Aha!

Yes. This could explain it.

I'll check again tomorrow.

I'm sure I have not seen that option on my Satellite switch?

toffe_pie, < no it cannot, unless it a feature of 2010+ FSport models.>

It looks like it was definitely not a feature of 2010+ F-Sport models.

I'll have a look again tomorrow though.

Crackers, <I guess certain cars have this feature. Mines a 2010 is250 f sport.>

There may be hope for me yet.

Mine's a MY2011 F-Sport

Perhaps the function was removed on the 2nd facelift (2011) models - like memory seats etc.

Gtownsman,

Just out of interest, what brand of tyre did you decide to use when you replaced them?

It's all controlled from the button on the dash for settings.

Just to be clear, is that the button under the steering wheel aka the "satellite switch" ?

Maybe. Good point.

Picture speaks a thousand words they say, see attached for the auto mirror feature.

Also this is the satellite switch, on a UK car, its ont he bottom right where you adjust the brightness of your dials:

The options available from the satellite switch for me are parking assist, auto folding mirrors, afs, speed indicators and tach indicators.

Argento · January 31, 2016

Cracksta, thanks very much for this advice and the great photos.

Yes, I recognise the satellite switch. Same as on my car.

But I'm 99% sure I do not have that "auto folding mirrors" image you show in your last excellent picture.

From memory, I think I have DRL; Parking sensors; Tachometer and Speed

I think we've nailed it. That is, I don't have it.

Verbout "My 2011 doesn't as far as I know, they close and open manually, but not automatically"

Yes, that's exactly my position. It looks like we don't have it.

I'm not too bothered. The manual system works just fine.

Well done....looks like you've all sorted it

Verbout · January 31, 2016

Phew!

HoodRich · March 13, 2016

My SE-L doesnt have that :-( Only has the option to turn off the parking sensors, set the tach and speed limits, and to turn off AFS

normski2 · March 13, 2016

The auto fold mirrors came in with the facelift version. You can get a kit to achieve this from Michael at ashpoint if you want it. Quite a few owners have done it.

toffee_pie · March 13, 2016

Its a very good thing to have also, I noticed the CL55 I am getting in a week did not have auto fold mirrors - I mentioned it to the dealer and he sat inside and activated it from the menu, was chuffed to see them fold themselves.
