How do I fold in the side mirrors on 2016 Explorer XLT?

See photo. This is what I've got. I press the button with the "X" on it and a little yellow light comes on the button. As far as I can tell it does nothing. I've read the owner's manual and can't figure it out. I've tried to manually push the mirrors in and am afraid of breaking them. How to I fold the side mirrors in? Or can I even? Thanks.

You don't have power fold mirrors. Manually push them in and out.

I believe all that the yellow light does in your case is indicate which mirror you have selected for adjusting using the 4-way control.
This is likely what you have.
Fold-Away Exterior Mirrors
Push the mirror toward the door window
glass. Make sure that you fully engage the
mirror in its support when returning it to its
original position.

Thanks, Peter, but there is only one light that illuminates on that bottom button. In the upper right and upper left hand buttons (in the photo) they illuminate to show which side mirror is to be adjusted.

And with the "push the mirror toward the door window," you have to give it a pretty good pop, don't you? (I've tried pushing it with steady pressure and it didn't move.)

It is a little difficult to make out the bottom button but isn't that to lockout all windows from the individual door switches?

That bottom button is to block the rear passengers from rolling up or down they're windows only. The power fold mirror button looks like this one, if your vehicle is equipped with it.

I think you're right. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation. Yeah, mine is just the one button on the bottom. (I don't have the automatic folding mirrors.)
