Error in C-Class Operator's Manual
The manual at page 368 advises when washing the car at an automatic carwash to "fold back the outside mirrors to prevent them from getting damaged." Do not try to fold the mirrors back, they do not fold. A call to MB-USA customer relations confirmed that the advice in the manual is erroneous.

my euro spec car has power folding mirrors, i have 2 buttons above the L/R buttons on mirror adjustment, one for folding in, one for folding out. so there are 2 buttons above, and 2 buttons below the mirror arrow switch, guess this option is nt available in u.s.

It had been awhile since I looked at my manual, but from what I remember, it was full of mis-information. The best thing I can say about the manual is that it is hard bound and has some pictures

I must say that it is pretty weak that the mirrors don't fold. I think it would have been something nice to have...and it's something standard in pretty much all the cars for free...isn't it? I can understand making the power folding mirrors an additional option but dang...atleast let us fold em manually....
I have seen the power mirror folding on the S classes here in the US.

At least the C-Class mirrors are on sprung hinges...

Your right... what I meant is that the non-folding version is clean looking, no cut in the plastic for the folding mechanism.

Of course, with all the open space in the US, you never need them. Nor do we in Australia.
(Do you really think they would bother to install the extra motors and switches just to get a few extra cars on the ship? Of course not - they would just have a manually foldable one.)
