Been meaning to ask this for ages.
When I reverse only the passenger mirror tilts downwards, and only if the mirror adjustment knob is set to the left mirror.
Is that the correct behaviour?
-
Don't use this feature myself, but have read about it on other forums. Yes the mirror adjustment knob has to be set to L (left) and it is only the left mirror that tilts when reverse gear is selected. So yours sound like it's working normally.
-
I believe its only the mirror nearest the kerb that tilts down so you can see if your going to scuff against the kerb. There isn't much point on the offside mirror tilting is there?

Yes, it is just the nearside mirror that tilts. I use this feature and find it really useful when parallel parking. It's covered in the manual under the 'exterior mirrors' section.

Unless you're parking on the right hand side of the road?
Thanks all.

Isn't it the mirror that's selected by the door switch that tilts? You can also set the degree of tilt to how you like it vs your seat position and it remembers your preference each time it tilts. It's been so long since I used it, I think it was a novelty at first
-
No, only the n/s tilts.
Very useful feature :cool:

But that would be illegal as your facing the wrong way.
Unless of cause its a oneway road but its still recomended to park on the left. Or if its your own private road or driveway in which case just put the window down and look out of that lol.
-
Lots of one way roads in towns with parking on both sides.

Correct

You haven't seen my parking!

It's only illegal when it's dark.

Just checked to see if mine does what you guys describe, and nothing happens. Checked in the menu that the mirror dipping is checked, moved the switch to the left mirror, and yet nothing !!!!! Thoughts?
-
I think it only works if you have the factory parking sensors fitted

You might not of actually adjusted it!!
Forgot what you ACTUALLY do but i think in the settings where you select it that is where you actually adjust it to tell the mirror where to go when selecting reverse.
So basically when you are activating it you have it set to the same place as you mirror thus it doesn't move.
Read the manual it will tell you how to set it in there!

It used to be a feature of the Luxury Pack which included folding mirrors. Did later cars get them without the folding function?

No. I believe you have to have either luxury pack and/or parking sensors. I have neither of these and don't have the reverse mirror dip feature.

I have OPS, so that's probably it.

As said they are part of the Luxury Pack and they are only on the passenger’s door mirror.

I don't have the luxury pack, only front and rear sensors and have the tilting mirror function

That's because mirror tilting function comes on cars with luxury pack specced but is also on cars with parking sensors, as I said previously. You do not have to have both options.
