Locate the button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel of the Mercedes-Benz and press it repeatedly. The menu interface on the instrument panel will display a settings tab; proceed to enter the settings interface. Once inside, navigate to the vehicle settings and click on the rearview mirror tab. The display page will show the automatic folding option; simply check the box in front of the option.
In my experience driving the Mercedes-Benz E300, setting the automatic mirror folding function is quite straightforward. After getting in the car and starting the engine, tap the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen, locate the comfort options or the mirror adjustment page, and toggle the automatic mirror folding switch to activate it. You can also operate it via the car key: press and hold the lock button to fold the mirrors automatically when locking the car; they will unfold upon unlocking. This feature is particularly useful in tight parking spaces, helping prevent scratches. I also recommend periodically checking if the function is enabled, as occasional software updates or accidental touches may cause it to deactivate. When using it, ensure the vehicle's power supply is stable—for example, avoid setting it when the battery is low to prevent failure. Overall, it’s a convenient feature that saves space and protects your car.
