I can fold or unfold the outside mirrros via a switch on the center console. No need to open the window. But it was an optional feature. At least the thief in Naples only rip the watches off.... I used to live in Taiwan in the late 1980's. Street crimes and kidnappings were big problems back then. Some drivers had their hands chopped off by thieves using large machetes. (diamond rings, Rolex watches, and most frequently jade bracelets worn by women in Benzes) :( That's actually far better than being dragged out of the car and kidnapped for ransom. My own uncle was kidnapped as he was driving down the road. He was only returned after the family paid a US$100,000 ransom. my current old Mercedes(1995) has power folding mirrors.

You'd think fabulous Mercs would have this feature. Getting an umbrella out a window might be a mite difficult, yelm. ;) Too bad the driver can’t adjust that mirror from the *inside* as on many automobiles.
