Electric Mirrors auto dip
« on: 14 October 2008, 18:53 »
Hi there, i have the electric folding mirrors, i read that the mirror is supposed to auto dip when you select reverse with this addition, mine doesn't do this, is it possible to turn this on? Unfortunately i dont have the full size MFD so dont have the menu system,

Cheers,

R

The mirrors do move with the adjuster but i believe they are supposed to dip automatically if you have the folding mirrors?

If the knob is in the passenger mirror adjustment position then it will dip when you select reverse.

182 is correct.....

If you position the wing mirror adjuster button and leave it on the passenger mirror (i.e. the indicator on the knob should be pointing to the bottom right, therefore meaning that it is positioned for adjusting the passenger mirror), then the mirror will dip once reverse is selected.

What year is your car as the kerb view option only appeared from MY2007 cars that had the lux pack or rear view sensors.

I just went out and tried this and no luck unfortunatley, perhaps it has been disabled on mine for some reason, will check with the dealer when it is next in,

Thanks for the replies though,
