    Turn the mirror control stick past the set points.

    That's good info. I didn't even know they did that.

    Funny...on friday I pick up the car from the dealer; as I'm getting on the parkway I notice that the driver's mirror needs adjusting so I reach down, turn the knob, and....the mirrors fold. In typical Italian car fashion, I have no idea what I did to make it happen, or how to get it undone until I get home. Sometimes I wish they could just source some minor parts outside of the Fiat empire to keep it simple - maybe we'll see some simpler Chrysler stuff in the future (like the nav)! Part of the whole Ferrari experience I suppose.

    Speaking of the Ferrari experience...I just received my all-time favorite repair explanation for noise coming out of rear of car. "Installed zip-tie". I would never accept that fix on a Porsche, but somehow it sounds just right for a Ferrari...love it.

    Tried it today and it worked! Bad news though is that before that the right hand mirror stayed in "reverse mode" instead of righting once I'd shifted into 1st. Software updates this week, I think!

    Yeah, I had that happen too. I merely reset the memory with the mirror in position.
