I am hoping that someone can clarify a point on a Yeti I have ordered.

I have ordered an SE model 110bhp - does this vehicle have electricallty adjustable mirrors or are they manual?

I read a thread where they were talking about the mirrors turning down when reversing - I took it for granted that the Yeti had this as standard (maybe I'm just a bit spoilt with my current vehicle which I'm desperately trying to sell!)

I believe you will have electric mirrors. However the mirrors that dip when you select reverse will only come on cars that have the electric memory seats as they need the memory bit of the system to know where to move to each time.

They adjust electrically but the housing itself doesn't fold electrically. You can (in the Maxidot settings) set them to 'both' adjust together when adjusting just one of them...or you can just have them conventionally adjust independant of each other....ie. set the switch for the left one or the right one. With the electric seat option they perform more tricks but still don't fold electrically.

Hi Sandy,

been a lot of confusion over mirrors mainly due to our friendly importer not employing car minded staff :S

Anyway all Yeti's have conventional electricity adjusted and heated wing mirrors.

The Elegance gains an auto dimming feature for the internal mirror and also the drivers side wing mirror (not passenger).

The optional electric seat on the Elegance adds the further fiture of memory position and lowering on the passenger side when reversing.

The above applies to the UK market, believe the Europeans might get other features we don't.

Regards,

Thanks for the quick responses.

TP you answered a further question that the first two posts raised.

I can now sit back happy in the knowledge my Yeti will have electrically operated mirrors. :clap:

I now just have to wait for it to arrive. :wonder:

Pretty sure it is the same as the Golf, passenger mirror will dip for reversing, if control is in left position . You don't need electric seats for this.

I've just been outside and tried it, and I'm afraid they Don't.

Need electric seat option for that facility?

Nope.

Not on a 'cheap Skoda Yeti'

You need the expensive electric memory seat option specified with an Elegance spec Yeti....as TP states above, for the UK market anyway.

The demonstrator I drove certainly had this function 170hp elegance with no electric seat! Perhaps its a one off but I doubt it.

according to the manual it only works with the electric memory seat.

According to the new brochure referred to in the thread about colours, the implication is that the SM will have "Automatically-retractable external mirrors upon locking the car." (p 21)

I'll phone the dealer with the demo car and quiz him.

Until the first cars get delivered no-one will know what the mirrors will do. A lot of us paid £500 for an electric driver's seat and electrically folding mirrors (as per the Superb). We (and SUK!) only realised they can't do the latter when the first owner took delivery and discovered they can't electrically fold.

Furthermore there is not a single VAG product out there (that I'm aware of) that has mirrors that fold "upon locking the car" - like some other cars do (like Fords, Renaults and Peugeots). All VAG mirrors can all only fold when you turn the mirror switch on the door (to the fold option - see image below), or when you hold the LOCK button on your keyfob for more than two seconds.

From the Superb brochure:

(and the brochure is wrong in saying the unlock botton above, button 3 on page 49 shows the lock button)

So as before I won't hold my breath for this feature ever appearing at all.
