Folding mirrors

How do you get the mirrors to fold in or do they?

It's in the central cluster; I think it's in the Vehicle settings

On the drivers door, the center button for the mirror controls, folds the mirrors.

Correct assuming the OP is asking about a 2013 SL. He claims to drive a 230 so he may be in the wrong spot.

Pasted from page 236 (238 of the pdf) of the manual if the below is confusing.

Switching the fold-in mirrors when
locking feature on/off

When you activate the Auto. Mirror Folding function, the exterior mirrors are folded in when the vehicle is locked. If you unlock the vehicle and then open a door, the exterior mirrors fold out again.

Press the = or ; button on the steering wheel to select the Sett. menu.
Pressthe:or9buttontoselectthe Convenience submenu.
Press the a button to confirm.
Press : or 9 to select the Auto.
Mirror Folding function.
If the Auto. Mirror Folding function is activated, the vehicle's exterior mirror is displayed in red in the multifunction display.

Press the a button to save the setting.
: To fold the exterior mirrors in or out
If you have switched on the function and you fold the exterior mirrors in using button : on the door, they will not fold out automatically (Y page 122).
You can then only fold out the exterior mirrors using button :.
