Electric fold-in mirrors... in the manual, anyone got them?

Damn. Mentioned in the manual but not there in practice

Does anyone have a three-position switch fitted where the mirror adjustment control is? According to the book, you rotate it to point backwards and the mirrors fold in. Don't have the book to hand but I don't recall it saying "option" or "country-specific" on it.

If nothing else however the mirrors will flap in backwards quite easily and probably break off when pushed forwards

I was looking for that function as well after my father noticed it in the manual. BUT no it's not available on the Australian model.

I noticed that this feature didn't work, it also says in the manual the mirrors are heated, does anyone know if this is true?

ISTR it comes on when you put the heated rear screen on.

I seem to remember the switch for the mrror control shown in the manual had 4 positions. The 6o'clock position for folding the mirrors. The standard switch does not do this.

The what?

Could it be the button on the climate control panel that supposed to clear the windscreen quicker if you press it.

Not quite the same as an elctrically heated front screen.
