Yeah I found it mine says the same thing, I just don't see where it says don't fold out manually cause it can loosen. ONly reason I ask is cause I did it manually one time just now I just want to make sure I didn't damage anything

So much easier to just push the button. You're going to put less stress on the mechanism by letting it operate electrically as it's designed rather than forcing it manually.

Maybe it was in the 7's manual, or the X5, or the A6, or the Yukon. I've had a lot of cars with power folding mirrors.

i just use the button to fold the mirrors. it feels odd if you do it manually to fold the mirror coz of the pressure. I yelled to my partner or friends who manually closed my F31 tailgate. there is a button to close and they still got used to close manually and hope it won't permanently killed the hydraulic system over time.

So you have a button next to you inside the car......but you leaned over or got out and manually pushed the mirror in instead?

Hey guys, new to the forum, just picked up my car two weeks ago, hope this is the right spot for this question, couldn't find anything similar on other threads
For some reason when I press the button to automatically fold up the side mirrors they now fold until they hit the side windows and then stop... obviously not right. Not sure if there is a calibration issue. I can't figure out why it started doing this, thinking maybe calibration is off because someone manually moved them when passing by or when I got the windows tinted. Going to take it to the dealer, but they are booked until next week. Anyone have similar issues or a fix? I was thinking to start manually moving them around, but didn't want to mess it up. Thanks |

Were you afraid the wall was going to jump out and hit your mirror while you were gone?
