Came upon a YouTube video detailing how to disable the automatic folding of the car's side mirrors.
1: Transmission in Park.2: Ignition on but not engine not running.3: Lock electric windows to prevent actuation.4: Depress passenger window buttons simultaneously for at least three seconds.
Tried that.
Didn't work, utter failure.
What did work was using the vehicle settings on the main dashboard screen a nd unchecking the option to automatically fold the side mirrors.
Now when I lock it, the side mirrors do not fold inward. It's easy to reset the feature if necessary.
