Auto Fold Side Mirros

Hello everyone, I finally picked up my 2021 Summit Reserve a week or so ago after being on order since July. There's a lot to like and a few issues here and there most notably with the Car Play but after a reset or two it's been good, knock on wood. One thing I can't figure out is how to auto retract the mirrors? There is a button on the driver door but it's really small and doesn't seem like it can be pushed. I took it through a car wash the other day and wanted to retract the mirrors and couldn't for the life of me figure it out. I'm sure it's something simple - but didn't see anything in the manual.

I also can't seem to get the hands free tailgate to open either...

for the mirrors, turn the mirror knob 180* or so. On the tailgate, make sure the feature is turned on in uconnect settings and supposedly you have to kick in and out relatively fast underneath the bumper.

I too have trouble with the hatch. but after a few swings with the foot, I get it to work. FCA can improve on their programming. Overall, I can live with it.

Kick straight in and straight back, don't move your leg super fast but it also doesn't need to be slow. No swinging left or right. Works every time for me.

Auto mirror close on key fob lock is available in settings. Yes, the mirror knob turned 180 manually closes them as someone else said.

The hatch needs a deliberate kick straight in like your kicking it in the jewels. Facing hatch, kick it in the jewels in the middle. I do a straight kick to the groin motion dead center, rapid speed not crazy fast by not slow like a normal step speed. It does take some getting used to. A slow motion always never works, I haven’t been able to mess it up going too fast
