Nope, not on a 2007 US spec car as I recall. I thought the power folding mirrors were not introduced until the LCI cars which started with MY2008 in the states. And the folding is not automatic. They fold with the press of a button on the driver's side door, near the side mirror adjustments. They will unfold automatically when you reach something like 20 mph...

yes, unless you slide the switch to off position.
Read your car manual.

The manual has already been read and it states nothing about automatic folding (without the press of a button).

I think Kzang was talking about the right mirror moving down while you are in reverse. If you are, than move the mirror adjusters over to the right (or left I forget) and it won't fold down anymore.
