Default Retractable Mirrors?

My outside mirrors retract when I lock the car, which is how I set it up. However, it would really be helpful if I could retract them when pulling into my tight garage but I don't see how. Is there a way or am I SOL?

How did you set it up to have the mirror retract when locking the car? I want to do this.

Manual operation to fold as far as I know. Page 2-20 of the Owner's Manual.

Folding Mirrors
To fold, pull the mirror toward the
vehicle. Push the mirror outward to
return it to the original position.

You can set the mirrors for a different viewing angle when you exit the car just as you can have the seat move back and the steering wheel retract and move up. No sure if this is what he meant.

When I posted this I had just returned from 17 days of travel abroad and was a bit jet-lagged. Three days before I went abroad, I took delivery of a 2015 CLS63AMG that has automatic folding mirrors so in my muddled brain I recalled that and somehow thought it was on the Z06, too. Of course, they don't fold and I'm a bit chagrined by having made this post in the first place.
