Picked up my 2022 Denali about a week ago. Hubby and I love it. Trying to get power folding mirrors to close consistently. Have it selected in settings. Sometimes they fold with fob locking, sometimes when pressing button on handle. Are we doing something wrong or do I need to take it in for service. Not having any other issues.

Did you drill down through the vehicle settings in the infotainment to make sure that option is turned on? Are you using the same fob each time?

my mirrors fold in every time when using the lock button on the remote. Also folds back out from the mirror switch on the door control.

Mine fold just fine, I use the mirror tilt when in reverse and had one not tilting but I think it may be from washing it and it freezing up, works fine now.

Mine fold with lock on fob and if I push button on door handle. Never fails….
Do they fold in when you hit the lock button on the INSIDE of the door when you are on you way out of the vehicle? I believe (I could be wrong) that’s what the OP was referring to.

No... what would be the reason for that? If they do... that's a malfunction....

who locks their car from the inside door button when they are exiting the car?

aren't you supposed to lock your car once you close the door, not before closing it?

Same here. They fold in and out when I lock and unlock with the fob and also fold in and out when I lock and unlock with the door handle.

Will these mirrors fold in by pushing the button on the door and still moving? As in going into a 9' wide door of a garage. Thank you.

I may be old school, but it’s a habit I got into before they had VOBS or buttons on the outside of the vehicle to lock it.

Even now, it’s still easier to hit the button the the way out than it is to pull the VOB out of my pocket or turn around after I’ve shut the door and hit the button on the outside.

That was the only way to lock the doors besides inserting the key into the lock on the outside of the door after getting out, it's only been 10 years or so that I've had vehicles with key fobs.

Mine fold every time with the remote and when I press the buttons outside the door. If you’re locking from inside the car, isn’t it just easier to hit the mirror fold button too?
