2013 LX side mirrors auto retract function not working.

[TG1]

I have a 2013 LX where the manual extend and retract work fine.

However I can’t get them to auto extend or retract and was looking for help diagnosing issues that might be the source of the cause.

This is an extract from the 2013 Owner's Manual (page 104) and it seems to indicate (to me anyway) they will automatically extend and retract:

1-3.
Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

LX570_U (OM60G53U)

Outside rear view mirrors

Folding back the mirrors

Putting the outside rear view mirror folding switch in the neutral position sets the mirrors to automatic mode. Automatic mode allows the folding or extending of the mirrors to be linked to locking/ unlocking of the doors.

Any help would be appreciated!

thanks!

Do Retract/extend work?

I’m an idiot. I thought I was in the same boat as you, though something had burned out in the switch and they weren’t working...

Maybe you’ve already been appraised of it, but mine works fine if you leave the switch in Auto (neutral, middle position, whatever you want to call it), turn the car off, walk away and press lock. Looks like the Auto function is triggered via the door locks.

Again, apologies if I’m late to the party, hope it helps.

Yes they both do

Thanks for the info. I’ll do some additional checking.
