Auto-folding mirrors
Although bits of the manual suggest it should be possible, I can't see how to activate mirror auto-folding on locking doors on my MY 24 90 HSE. Am I looking for something that doesn't exist? 90 D250 HSE, Pangea Green with tan interior and fabric sunroof.

Have the mirrors been folded in or out manually? You could try resetting them

An amount of knock protection is designed into the door mirrors. If a mirror is accidentally knocked or manually folded inwards or outwards, the mirror head disengages from the folding mechanism. To re-engage the mechanism, manually return the mirror to its central position, then fold and unfold the door mirror using the button Cheers Ian

Sorted itself! After a couple of times cycling the manual folding by pressing the two buttons, auto-folding seems to have woken itself up. 90 D250 HSE, Pangea Green with tan interior and fabric sunroof.

ls there any way to actually STOP the mirrors auto-folding when you lock the vehicle? l am in and out of the vehicle all day in my business and the mirrors constantly whirring in and out gets on my nerves TBH.

Also when towing the caravan l can't lock the vehicle as the mountings of the extension mirrors hit the door when the mirrors fold.

If the mirrors are folded before locking the Defender, they won't unfold when you unlock it. It's called "Garage Mode".

There doesn't seem to be a solution for your caravan mode, which seems like an oversight by JLR to me. Current vehicle: 2020 Defender 110S
