Default Side mirrors dont slope down when car is in reverse mode.

Hi ,


Yesterday i was with my friend in his range rover and he put the gear on "R"

and the side mirrors went down with a slope. He said "Does your car has this feature". I said "ofcourse".

When i put my car in "R" the mirrors did not slide down a bit.

I dont know what causes this issue. Ive got my mirror settings on Auto.

Any Suggestions ?

The reverse-tilt feature is affected by the L/R switch that selects which mirror is controlled by the L/R/U/D adjustor switch. The reverse-tilt feature is disabled when that switch is left in the neutral (center) position. I am not sure what the logic for this is - I guess it is a way to disable it if you have some reason to want it disabled.

Thanx Buddy ,

Actually I dont want it enabled, had it working even when the switch was on Auto.

What happened is i had some CD ejection issues. My Pioneer CD/DVD Player ejects CD's on humps or sometimes just like that. I took it for repair.

Two weeks i got a call from the foreman informing me that the unit is ready and has been repaired. I remember putting the gear on "R" at home and the side windows sloped down a bit. After the unit has been put back to where it was i dont see the windows sloping down no matter what i try. Auto mode , left , right. Wont work.

The switch that I am referring to is the little switch - in the middle of the Up/Down/Left/Right cluster switch - to the left of the Auto switch. That switch, when left in the center position, disables the reverse-tilt feature.

yeah more than likely your mirror control switch is set to middle, and it will disable mirror tilt down
