Folding door mirrors

Does anyone know if it is possible to fold the mirrors in while in drive ie. when entering/ leaving a confined space.

With my low mpg on way up to Scotland I joked with my mate that the large mirrors might effect it

pressed the button on the motorway and they came in, didn't at MW speeds on the old one

maybe a MY2010 thing
