Check the switch shown below. You have to have in the center position for the mirror to autofold.

Folding the mirror.

Electric type
Image


The outside rearview mirror can be folded or unfolded by pressing the switch as below.

Left : The mirror will unfold.

Right : The mirror will fold.

Center (AUTO) :

The mirror will fold or unfold automatically as follows:

Without smart key system
- The mirror will fold or unfold when the door is locked or unlocked by the transmitter. (if equipped)
With smart key system
- The mirror will fold or unfold when the door is locked or unlocked by the smart key.
- The mirror will fold or unfold when the door is locked or unlocked by the button on the outside door handle.
- The mirror will unfold when you approach the vehicle (all doors closed and locked) with a smart key in possession. (if equipped)
CAUTION

The electric type outside rearview mirror operates even though the ignition switch is in the LOCK position or the engine Start/Stop button is in the OFF position. However, to prevent unnecessary battery discharge, do not adjust the mirrors longer than necessary while the engine is not running.

CAUTION

In case it is an electric type outside rearview mirror, don’t fold it by hand. It could cause motor failure.
 
Well two tips in one day, Christmas!! yes it works exactly that way, I just went out and checked.
Question, when I first got the car, when I put it in reverse, the mirrors, at least the passenger side, would tilt down so you could see whats next to the wheel, is that a secret switch also, if so what!
Keep these tips coming!!
Thanks!
That is something for the touring, so you can line up with the lines in the parking space. I don't know anything about that I'm afraid, I've got an EX.
