Wickwick10_1 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Now the ice has started to appear - can anyone tell me if you can turn off the power fold mirrors on a new 61 plate Focus Titanium as they creaked a little this morning and can see this getting worse when we have colder mornings , I have checked the menu and no option and the dealer said they don't know and to book it in which I can't be arsed. My mk7 fiesta Zetec S had an option to link to lock but can't see this on Focus - If it can't be done its a pretty crap as the winter will ruin the power fold.

What a good question, and I'll be quite interested to hear the outcome. I know that with my ST Mondeo I dare not fold the mirrors in when its icy. I suspect that if the mirrors do freeze up then a circuit breaker will trip out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickwick10_1 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Well I can't find a way to stop them folding ? Ford said to book it in ??? Personally waste of time as I can look myself , they creaked today and that's first frost !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickwick10_1 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Won't take fuse out - but should be option to turn off as I can see a frost giving the mirrors a hard time opening !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Won't take fuse out - but should be option to turn off as I can see a frost giving the mirrors a hard time opening !!!! Any word back from the dealer about this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuke Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi, if you manually fold them before you lock the car then they will not automatically unfold when you unlock the doors. Page 73 of my manual: "Electric folding mirrors" "Automatic folding and unfolding Note: If the mirrors have been folded using the manual fold button they can only be unfolded using the manual fold button." Mine aren't giving me any issues and the ones on my Mk Mondeo didn't have a problem even when it was down to well below zero temps....

Boeing Driver Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well, I've come onto here looking for the same answer as Chris, the original poster of the question. A few have answered but without offering much as an actual answer. I have recently taken delivery of a new 2015 Focus and wished also to disable the auto mirror fold-when-locking function. Pulling the fuse will not help since that will stop the manual fold won't it? Like Chris, we had a Fiesta prev. which had a menu function available to do the job but with this car I'm blowed if I can find it. Rather than ice and snow conditions, in my case I merely want to reduce the number of operations on the mirror fold systems to prolong the life. The car is a peach but overloaded badly with 'gizmos' most of which are nice to have but of little use. Why no menu for this? Come on guys, is it in there somewhere or have we had our chips on this 'want'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
