2008 G55 Owner

Hi everyone,
I've been reading this forum for almost 8 months. I've just taken possession of my very first MB and its been awesome. I have a couple questions if you would indulge me.


1. Does the drivers-side and passenger-side mirrors fold in automatically? That is when the vehicle is parked. I haven't been able to find a reference to this in the owners manual.

2. What are the actual steps to getting the passenger-side mirror to activate when the vehicle is put in (R) reverse ?

Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I've check there and it doesn't seem to be an option. Perhaps this vehicle doesn't have this feature, I'll have to contact the dealer for confirmation.

Whatever there's gas in...
As for the automatic mirror, the way it is in my car is if the passenger side mirror button is pressed it activates the auto. adjusting mirror.

I.E. if I go to adjust my mirrors and select which ever side I wanted to adjust, I'd hit the passenger side button, then put it in reverse. I could be wrong about the 2008 G55.
