Yes I used to have a C Class too and it felt like plenty of space. I've had tighter cars in the garage. My Panamera Turbo S was a very tight fit - wider than the EQS,

 

I guess it's all about spatial awareness. The EQS is a big car, but mostly long. Didn't feel especially wide when I drove the 580 and 53. I've squeezed through tighter spaces. On a trip to Portugal a few years ago I had to drive through a tiny alley. VW Golf rental with folded in mirrors had about an inch on each side. Now that's tight.

 

Understood, thank you.
Do you know up to what speed it's still possible to fold them in EQS?

There is obviously a button to fold the mirrors.

It would appear that things are not the same everywhere -
With my 450+, the mirrors do NOT automatically fold when I open and enter my car. This is not the same as unlocking with a key fob, but it is unlocking the car.
Here are the steps I go through -
1. Approaching my garage, I fold the mirrors manually., then enter the garage, turn off the motor, and exit the car. The mirrors remain folded.
2. I lock the car - no change in the mirrors.
3. I enter the garage, the door handles extend, the mirrors remain folded, I enter the car, start the motor. The mirrors have never unfolded in this process.
4. Only after I exit the garage, do I manually unfold the mirrors.

Could it be that my last command to fold the mirrors prior to entering the garage overrides any car programming.

 

Yes, that is an accurate statement.
Side note: I simply can't believe the bickering over folded mirror question.

 

Interesting choice of words.

It has seemed to me more of a discussion.

For a good example of bickering, I’d say look at the car wash topic.

 

I have a 2017 Mercedes GTS. My mirrors usually unfold when I hit the unlock button on the car keys or when I touch the door handle to unlock the car. Today, I noticed the mirrors are not unfolding until I open the door of my car!

Has this happened to anyone before?

Do i have to reset the settings? If yes, please help

 

I've deactivated that feature from our cars and not sure how they behave but why would you want to have the mirrors unfold before you open the door? Can't use mirrors anyway before you are in the car.

 

What use are puddle lights after you've stepped in a puddle? My Genesis would unfold the mirrors as I approached so I could actually see where I was going.

 

Do you mean puddle lights do not illuminate the area close to the door when folded? Or do they not activate before mirrors are unfolded?

 

I came here to look for something else, but saw this thread and I felt I need to comment on it.

This is indeed laughable. The standard door in my state is 8 feet wide- in a $400k house and in a $2.5mil house. I have an S and G and both will not get in/out without the side mirrors folded. You thinking that 10-feet garage doors are the norm? Entitled much? Asking for a friend
