Default Mirror tilt in reverse?

Is there a setting for the mirrors to tilt when shifting in reverse? If so, how do you set it?

On the GS the set up is just by leaving one of the buttons on RIGHT OR LEFT for the mirrors to tilt. not sure about the IS if it has it

I believe the IS only has it if you bought the luxury package and it's not an option if you have the F-Sport package.

Just select one of the mirrors and put the car in reverse. Set the mirrors where you want them. Next time you go into reverse they should point down where you left them.

Easy way to know. If you have memory seats & mirrors, you have the reverse tilt function.

Unfortunately not. The site still says "Delete Driver Seat Memory" and "Delete Reverse Auto-Tilt". I guess the thinking is that if you buy F-Sport, only YOU will be driving it. In my experience, that is conveniently true though.

I have a 2015 IS350 F-Sport RWD with almost every option, including mirror tilt when in reverse. However, this is the Japanese model.
So it's kind of messed up that Lexus nitpicked options here and there in the US. Then again, the IS is cheaper in the US.

you are correct my friend! I believe they did the same w/ the lexus' that went to the middle east! you figure if a customer wanted to pay for the option to get it...and not have to buy a "luxury package" to get it.


I'd love to have memory seats and steering wheel, power tilt mirrors for reverse, power fold in mirrors, and parking sensors; basically a GS in the IS body!!!

You can try if it works or not. My car has this feature and it is activated as some members said, but again my car is not from the US, so it has different options.

I have a 2016 IS350 AWD F-Sport bought in Toronto, and I can confirm there is no mirror tilt function as well as driver memory seats.

Kind of a bummer, but in the grand scheme of things, really isn't a big deal.
