TitaniumTina Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi, I have just taken delivery of my new Fiesta Titanium. I have two questions, rather basic so apologies in advance. I have the 'city pack' installed which closes the mirrors when I lock the car. But If I go through a carwash, I need to fold them in while still 'in' the car. The inside lock does not close them. How can I close them. Also, it is an automatic. I take it that for a carwash I need to put in it N and not P. :) TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M.K Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 When the knob for the mirrors is in the middle, press it either up or down (can't remember which) to fold the mirrors in. But please please don't take it into a car wash! Scratch heaven they are :( As for the auto question, i'm not sure about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Depends on the carwash - if it's static, then P. If it's the type that pulls the car through - such as the ARC machines - then N. Alternatively of course - don't expose your new car to the paint killing carwashes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi Tina, welcome to FOC. As Mark says just move the mirror knob down\up when set in the centre to fold them in/out. I have an auto too but wouldn't even consider putting it thru a car wash so not sure which position to put the shifter in. I always take mine to the jet wash and then dry it off after before driving off - always comes out stunning. (The 5hr car washers here are probably cringing at my 10 minute car washing technique lol) Paul edit - ah - what dan says :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmcdermott Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 OH My LORD, please dont expose fresh brand new paint work to a carwash oh the swirl marks (feeling faint)........ anywho, put the mirror adjustor in the middle and push down to fold in, push down to fold out, simples :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 To fold your mirrors back you nudge the mirror control stalk DOWN once. To return back to normal use same method...DOWN once.(I do this before driving into garage) If you put them in using this method then get out and lock car....when you return they wont open as normal....not until you open them manually again. And I agree with others ...dont use auto car wash. A hand wash gives a better result.....and burns afew calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
