V50 Body : - Fold in Mirrors

Cliffb52 · Oct 7th, 2009, 17:26

I have a 2007 V50 D5 and I thought that the only way to fold in the mirrors was to do it from the panel on the drivers door, but I did something with the key as I locked the car and they went in automatically. I have been unable to reproduce this. Can anybody tell me what is the secret.

On most cars, if you hold the lock button down it closes any open windows. I'd assume it would fold the mirrors too, have you tried that?

Thanks, but I'm afraid it's not as simple as holding the button down. I wish it was.

Anything in the car settings menu on the centre stack?

Cliffb52 · Oct 7th, 2009, 23:03

No, I can't find anything about it in the menu or in the handbook.

Under Car Settings I have a menu called Fold Mirrors on Locking. That does the trick.

Cliffb52 · Oct 11th, 2009, 15:29

I don't have that option in my menu. Apparently cars made later than mine in 2007 do. I have to fold my mirrors in by using the panel before I get out of the car. I rang my local Volvo garage and they say my car will not do it automatically. That makes it even more strange, because my wife and I both saw it happen just the once when I locked the car.
