HIgh pressure headlight washers? / folding mirrors

[philberticus]

bought my first Bentley about 2 months ago. (09 gtc)
Didnt come with an owners manual.
Can anybody explain the high pressure headlight washers? I read somewhere that I do indeed have them.

Also the mirrors seem to function ok, but I don't know how to make them fold in.
Do I rotate the mirror knob or what?
thanks in advance yawls.

Hi.

The headlamp washers only work when the lights are on. There are two pumps on the water reservoir, a lower one for the screen and one higher up for the headlamps. The water has to be above the level of the upper pump for the headlamp wash to work.
The jets can be a problem, I've just had to replace one of mine.
They can take a few operations to work if they haven't been used for a while.

The door mirrors only work by turning the knob to the left of the gear level. Really stupid that they don't work automatically via locking the car.

Hope that's of help and enjoy the car.

Les.

Thanks Lee.
Making sense now.
I am kinda getting a feeling that this car, although unbelievably beautiful, has a few fluff systems that I wish had been omitted
