Fold in Mirror Automatically?
So I have been driving my 2012 Cayenne for about 2 weeks now and have figured out most of the functions (even those pesky memory settings) but one item that I cannot seem to activate is the Power Fold Mirrors. I can do this 1-time no problem with the button on the door or key but the manual (yes, I read it) says that I can set these to automatically retract when I turn the ignition off. According to the manual, this is done via PCM by pressing CAR>OPTION>SET CAR>Vehicle Functions>Locking System> "Fold In Mirror". However, when I get to the screen where the option for "Fold in Mirror" is supposed to be it is not there.
Anyone else get this to work or is there just an error in the manual?

^ Yes, and all of that works fine.
In the 2012 owner's manual it also states that you can FOLD the mirrors automatically when you turn off the ignition but it doesn't seem to be enabled in the PCM.

Your appreciation is nice but misplaced..... I never slept so well as when i was trying to read that terrible tome.
My secret is that I downloaded a .pdf of the manual so I could quickly search for what i want.

They fold out upon the starting of the car. Guess I should have tried that first.
