Do all S80's from '98 have electric folding door mirrors?

CharlesStevenson · Feb 12th, 2020, 17:25

From what I've read on here it seems this was an option, introduced at some stage in the build, rather than available from '98 onwards, but I wasn't sure?

If it's on the car does it work via the key-fob, since AFAIK there's no switch in the door to fold the mirrors in-out?

Thx

on the '70, the button is on the dash in front of gear stick, which would otherwise be blanks. I have parking sensors, mirrors, fogs etc there.

Was the same on my MY03. Much better than the door switch!

gingerbiscuit69 & Spike56, thx for the replies - I've got a V40 at the moment & we're looking for an S80 as a 2nd car, but as my wife's got some issues with mobility, not having to nip 'round both sides to open / close the door mirrors would be nice.

Thanks for that guys - I've looked at a couple of pics of the strip of switches along the centre console & can see the switch you mean.

From what I've seen not all S80 / V70 models have the button/option fitted, but at least I now know what to look for (and to test).
