Reversing - Wing Mirrors Point Downwards - How Do I Do This?

[MK6-Fan]

I have a 2012 Golf 'Match' & when I was on the test drive with the dealer back in May, he showed me a thing that when I put the car into reverse both mirrors pointed downwards (a very cool feature that I liked.)

Does anyone else know how to do this as it doesn't say in my handbook anywhere about how to do it & he never told me how to do it? 

Cheers

I thought only 1 mirror pointed down at a time....on the GTI you set the mirror switch to either left or right and go into reverse...

On the GTD/GTI ect ect...you put the knob in the required position and the mirror points down but I thort the curb view only applied to the left wing mirror? And the only way of switching it to the right is vagcom correct?

I'm 95% sure that both mirrors went down at the same time when he showed me at the dealership. I don't remember him saying to me to flick the knobs or anything, he just said stick it in reverse & watch the mirrors tilt downwards.

You have to set it to how low you want it to go etc. I remember someone posting how on here before. Think you have to put it in reverse then adjust your passenger mirror to its new low setting. Then when you take it out of reverse it goes back to its original position. something like that. I think its in the manual somewere. Its to do with kerb view. iirc it only happens on the passenger side. I don't have lux pack/folding mirrors so i don't have that feature anyway.

I don't have Lux Pack either but mine drops, I think you get it when you have front and rear parking censors too.

I have front and rear sensors and lux pack...

This is only available with the Luxury Pack, and its only the passenger wing mirror that drops when reversing iirc

For confirmation either speak to dealer or VW website (car configuration)

Not sure of available options via VAGCOM

Sorry to correct you but I don't have Lux Pack but it works on mine, IRRC front and rear parking sensors also get the function.

I don't have the luxury pack only front\rear sensors and it's fitted and works on mine. Set up is on the highline computer and it's controlled by the little silver mirror selector thingy. Turn the switch onto the left mirror and the left mirror dips, turn it onto the right mirror and it dips when reverse is engaged. As Snoopy mentioned earlier, you set the mirror dip position to suit you and it remebers this for next time
