How to stop auto folding wing mirrors from folding?
« on: January 31, 2019, 07:10:46 pm »
I have the auto fold pack and my wing mirrors almost froze in a closed position the other morning. With further cold weather ahead, does anybody know how to prevent them from auto folding?

Thanks,

K

I think you’ve got the added kit on a 2016 which doesn’t have a switch to my knowledge.

I have the addon kit. The simple solution on mine is to wait a few minutes before locking the car. Mirrors don't fold then.

I can only quote UK models which may differ but vehicles of that age had an accessory fitted.  If you can’t stop it by rotating the mirror adjust button 180 degrees, you will have to disable the accessory.

Sorry, misunderstood.

That option is only possible with an accessory from Mazda.

Hi, I realise this is an old post but I’m a newbie and stumbled across a YouTube video that might help.
