Auto-fold mirror

Can our local fitted auto-fold mirror be set not to auto-fold when we off engine? I prefer manual fold with a press of the button. This was my experience when i wash my car with ignition key off. I can't access to the mirror for cleaning. Also too much open/close might just shorten the life of the motor.....

Side track issue: My ride safety belt light went off even if i don't belt up after moving for a distance. Is there a fault on this? My previous ride will have the light up and sound warning if i don't belt up on time.....

Auto mirrors please refer to important issue here

For forte, the seat belt warning sign only light up for 6 secs after that it goes off.....

The issue discussed was about a bro here got his auto-mirror stucked at closed position....

I am asking whether can the auto function be disabled.....i suppose playing with the control shd be able to....anyway will get CnC sort this out at my 1k service.

Any system that uses electrical control power can be disabled. Having said so, will depends on C&C technician knowledge.

Based on what I'd read either from this or other forum, there are 2 relays in this system. Removal of 1 relay should disable auto-fold function. 50/50 chance so it's not difficult to try your luck if you know where the relays are located. Don't throw away any relay removed as they are likely to be interchangeable & can be kept as "spare".

Thanks for the sharing, bro. I guess i shall leave it to the CnC technician to "play" with the system as it is under warranty.

Just want to double confirm.. if we ask ManCanDo to install the auto folding mirrors at $300 is it the same as ask Kia SE to include the auto mirrors at $300?? Will Kia SE also ask ManCanDo to install the auto folding mirrors?

When i collected my ride i ask whether my auto folding mirror is done in house or by mancando..he told me in-house...means by C&C

is their in-house equal to mancando?

Mmm...from the way he answer me i dun tink so...dats my guess...

I asked C&C and Mancando..both quote me 1yr warranty. Should be the same lah, except for Mancando you get it installed inside IMM carpark.

i think someone post here that he ask C&C where they got their mirror, and C&C told them from mancando ?

Yes, is done inhouse..MCD will have his workers install at CnC wkshop....if that's called inhouse

i ask kia to do de mirror for me. most likely dey oso get mancando to do. cos dey say done inhouse but by one korean shop pple come in do.

n when i go mancando, dey asked me if i did auto fold. i say ya from kia, den he say o. most likely dey do one oso =p

The factory fitted side mirror manual fold button is above the side mirror adjusment control.

Ermmm... Do you guys know that the 'factory' or 'in-house' fitted folding mirrors have dual modes? As in auto and manual?

With engine running, just depress and hold the button down for 3 seconds. You will hear either a single or double beep. Can't remember which is which, but one represents auto mode and the other manual. I am sure I do not need to elaborate on what either modes do, right?

BR,

ohh that is interesting, u can control the modes too with just a push of the button

from wat i kww.. auto mirrors are done by the same ppl whether u ask CnC or mancando to do.. cos Cnc contract to them.. those terms "factory fitted" or "in house" simply mean the workers come to Cnc premises to get the job done.. instead of sending the cars to the workshop i.e. no need to drive ur car from pt A to B..
yah, i hv seen the demo on the auto folding mirror function.. just press n hold the button and it will switch from one mode to another.. some prefer manual mode some prefer linked to ignition..

So there is no warning for seat belt not fastern up when moving...?? So based on the car manual, our model belongs to type A.

No warning as mentioned...basically I believed all driver will auto belt up when u move off but usually r the passengers that I have to remind them to belt up....when rear passengers not belted up, upon a frontal collision, they r just like human projectiles flying forward and a size of a toddler can snap your neck in split secs...Always pissed me off, when I see drivers with their kids by their side with no seat belt on.. like my TP friend told me, he will never never give chance on such scenario, very irresponsible of the parents

just to check with you guys, for those that installed the auto folding mirrors...does it look like this?

No for the after market installation. The black button is placed near the ESC button. I think there is a bro who uploaded the pic before.

Exactly.... can't CnC bring in those... duh...

Has anyone already driving the Forte notice that the right wing mirror tends to vibrate quite a bit when you accelerate? So much so that it causes the image in the mirror to 'buzz' and not very clear?

Anyone? I've observed the left wing mirror does not 'buzz' at all when my better half drove my car and I was sitting on the front passenger seat.

Any similar observations?

Maybe the clip is not well place, try push inwards and see any improvement..

Just push the mirror inwards into the casing?
