Default Can I retract power mirrors when driving?

Is there any way to temporarily fold in the powered wing mirrors when driving ?

I have to fit through a very narrow gap each morning and would love to press a button to fold the mirrors in temporarily.

I'm assuming I can manually push them in by hand, but I've not tried as I don't want to damage any motorised parts.

Hold down both L and R mirror buttons on the driver door and they should retract as you drive along,
Its really handy

It would be great if someone wrote all this kind of stuff down in one place as a kind of reference guide.

For senior members here - an old computer adage - RTFM...
If you get a pdf manual, you can do a word search, hit Ctrl and F keys.
