Default Quick question on why my mirrors don't fold

Just got my 14 Fsport home and noticed the mirrors are not folded in when its parked. Is there some special setting that needs to be done that the tech guy did not show us? Hopefully its a quick fix and not something wrong?

On mine there is an 'auto' button with the rest of the mirror control buttons, and that has to be activated for the mirrors to fold when the doors are locked.

Make sure you have the auto button selected on driver side door.

there should be a button to command that. if you can't find the button, try using the mirror right of left button. sorry I have a 13' gs4 so I don't have that option. on my ls460, there is a button on the left of the steering wheel... you can put it on auto, close or open...

Yes, the auto button has to be on, it's right next to the folding mirror button.

If you want the mirrors to tilt down when reversing, the left or right (either) mirror button adjustment has to be on.

The Auto Fold is one of my favorite options.

If its any consolation to the 13 owners, one thing I did notice with the folding mirrors is that once they are folded in, the little puddle lights don't work for squat as they only light a tiny area on the side of the door. Poorly engineered on Lexus's part there. Other than that though, very sweet car. Could really use a manual on disk to help find things easier, too much to get familiar with

Do 2014 owners get LEDs for their puddle lights?
