It has been raised before and I personally don't find it at all useful. There seems to be some internal electrical loop which needs to make its way round before you can lock the door. By pressing and keeping the lock key depressed too early, you are under the impression the car is locked (the mirrors folded) but it is still open.Giz9 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 10:27 amDid you know that you can retract the mirrors without locking the car? Try this:happy days wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 9:01 am It is standard feature on the 718s, but has to be enacted manually on the Macan. Really handy visual as to whether the car is locked or not.
- Switch the ignition on and then off again
- Remove the key
- Close the door and press and hold the lock button on the key fob within 1 second of closing the door
The mirrors will fold but the car will not be locked. When I first got the car I left it unlocked countless times in car parks because of this behaviour .

I have never seen it on a Macan but it does exist on other Porsche just so you keep some sanityGuy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 1:17 pmOK I have just checked and I was correct ...
... in doubting myself!
Mine doesn't have a mirror auto-retract option, so either it's disappeared, or I dreamt it. A thousand apologies to all those I've misled, and have a great weekend all!
