I had my 2015 F-Type coupe washed yesterday and the prep worker manually depressed both side view mirrors inward and then manually pulled them back out again instead of using the two buttons for this purpose. When I later got out of my car, the mirrors did not automatically depress as they had done before. I did make sure the buttons would still operate this function, but would rather have this be an automatic function. I did not see anything in the manual, nor in any of the in-car vehicle settings menus that spoke to re-setting this as an automatic operation. Since there is no dealership where I live (Tallahassee, FL) I called two dealerships nearby and was told by both that I would have to bring the car in to diagnose the issue (of course!). Has anyone else had this problem? Is it something that can be diagnosed and re-set by the proper code, or would it require disassembling the mechanism?

Automatic operation of side view mirrors

An amount of knock protection is designed into the door mirrors. If a mirror is accidentally knocked inwards or manually folded inwards, the door mirror head disengages from the folding mechanism. To re-engage the mechanism, fold, then unfold the mirror using the button.
If either door mirror is accidentally knocked out of position, so only one is folded, press both buttons simultaneously to resynchronise.

I did fold and unfold the mirrors several times with the manual buttons, but the automatic function is still not operating.

I found this on the site in PDE's reply: If the mirrors were folded using the switches, they will not unfold when the vehicle is unlocked. No mention is made as to how to re-engage the automatic fold and unfold.
Saw this in the manual:
Depending on vehicle specification, the mirrors can be configured to automatically fold when the vehicle is locked and unfold when unlocked. The automatic folding and unfolding feature can be enabled or disabled by a retailer/authorised repairer.
