So I went to a different car wash the other day because I needed a quick drive through. The guy asks me to fold in my mirrors and I ask him to do the passenger side mirror so I don't have to get out. He told me to power fold them.
Since I don't have a single button that has a folding icon on it I didn't think I could. He then showed me that if your mirror selector is in the middle and you hold down the 'right' side on the direction pad for the mirrors they will fold in.
I felt so dumb. I've had my 04 Tahoe for five years and never knew I had power fold mirrors.

So, just an FYI for anyone else out there with power fold mirrors you may not have known you had.

If you have steering wheel controls you can turn on curb view as well. The mirrors will turn down at the wheels when in reverse.

I don't think there is a setting for them to automatically fold when key is turned off.

How do you turn on the heated mirror feature?

If you have the steering wheel controls, hit the button for the DIC controls. (Top button on the lower right set of buttons) Scroll through the settings. One should be "curb view assist" hit the bottom button to turn it on. Mirrors should adjust automatically to see the curb when you put it in reverse.

Yes. You can select just Driver mirror, just Passenger mirror, or both.

Thanks! I'll definitely be trying this. All these years...
