Hi does anyone know if you can have electric folding mirrors as an extra for the T-Cross SE?

No probs other than they should surely be standard on SEL spec rather than a cost option.

I'm happy with my folding mirrors, and only.had to make a slight adjustment twice in 3 months.
The spec in the brochure said £160 gets you the folding mirrors including puddle lights, but that didn't happen, neither did the front passenger folding back rest make it to the U.K.

Do you mean those lights which should be underneath the mirrors?
If you look under mirrors, there is a triangle place for the light. Has anyone got light in there?
I had those lights in my Golf Plus.

Usually with VW it's a position on the mirror adjustment knob. Normal HRW is top, with electric mirrors it's top right with fold top left.

is there a button anywhere that you can press, that folds them in? on my previous cars, you do that and they go in.. not automatically when engine turned off etc...
No button to press ;), as Tricky2 said in previous page, but in T-Cross, you just turn the wing mirror adjustment switch to bottom left (south west) and they fold, south east you will find mirror heating.

So, mine don't fold. On looking at the manual, it seems even though the folding mirror option means they fold in when you turn the engine off, there is nothing if you haven't chosen that option.

I tried a few things but they don't fold without the option, unless I'm being totally thick

At least they're not massive lol

I turned off the lane assist yesterday. Forgot this morning, but it was fine. Then later today I was out, forgot, but it didn't come on.

I need to study the manual

Lane assist cannot be permanently disabled, several on here and other forums would love it to be do, but as it's considered an essential safety aid it automatically reactivated on restarting.

Simplest way to turn off/on as needed, left hand steering switches, bottom right switch (car inside box) press this, then OK (middle of right switches). Leave alone and the middle screen display will revert to whatever you had on it after half a minute or do.

VW manuals are so impenetrable, so many warnings and safety notices it's hard to find the actual information :)

I am about to buy a T-Cross :). Folding mirrors in general is quite a MUST (driving in London). If I don't take the electrical folding option, do they fold at all? I.e. manually, "by force". Or is the mechanical moving (folding) part is also added only when option is taken?

Question on folding mirrors:

Do they only fold if you are going lower than a certain speed - mine seem to fold when I am stopped or going slowly when the switch is in the correct position. It seems if I am going quickly they do not fold even if I lower my speed. I cannot find anything in the manual regarding speed so I wondered if it was a fault or an unwritten rule :)

OK.. I live in the UK and if a road was that narrow, I wouldn't drive down it..!
However, to answer your question...the electric mirrors are designed to fold in when the car comes to a standstill and the engine is switched off, for parking etc.. I'm pretty sure there is no way to fold them, electrically, while the car is moving.
I think the only way for you would be to switch the mirrors to manual and then fold them in by hand..
