Cortexx Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hey Guys, I know its abit early and the really cold weather isnt coming just yet, but i was thinking the other day how do i stop my electric mirrors automatically folding when i lock the car? Ive fiddled with the cars menu system and tried both options but it doesnt stop it :S Is there a fuse i can take out? Im worried that in the winter when the mirrors are frozen and i unlock the car they might unfold and break! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidge Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Are you sure remembered to press the middle of the joystick after selecting the option. If so you might have a problem. If I go into the menu then vehicle-> powerf mirrors and set it to 'no link to lock' then lock the car, the mirrors do not fold in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aph1101 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 +1 for the above. Also, having had the car for the whole of last winter (31st oct onwards), the powerfold mirrors were absolutely fine, even through the heavy snow etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryboi Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 They wont freeze and break. The fiesta is sold in a lot of countries that are a lot colder than the UK so it's been taken into consideration with the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmcdermott Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Mine were absolutely fine in the winter, no need to worry matey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_P Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 i think there was only one day last year when i poured some warm ( not boiling ) water on them to get rid of some ice, but other than that i never had a problem with them if you think they will break :) That said... i did have one go a bit loopy where it thought it would go past its stop point until it basically went 180deg :P get a new one fitted under warrenty though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
