Default 2014 IS350 Fsport exterior mirrors do not tilt when reversing

It says in the 2014 manual that this feature is included but is not working in my IS350 that I bought used last week. My old 2008 IS350 had this feature.

I have a 2014 IS350 FSport as well. The Fsport doesn't have that option for some reason. I believe it only comes with the luxury package.

Unfortunately the auto-tilt side mirrors are not available on 2014 IS models (at least in Canada). In the owners manual, it should say "if equipped" in brackets where it explains the auto-tilt mirrors.

One way to tell if you have the reverse tilt mirrors is to verify if you have memory seat settings. If you have this then your car has reverse tilt, if you do not have this then it is not an option on your car.

Why do people want to see to the ground when reversing?

To avoid curb rash on wheels. Would be nice if we had it.

No wonder I never feel the need for it since I have those little blind spot mirrors.

I agree with EZZ. BSM is pretty much standard on 3IS but it does not help with curb rash.

Lexus just needs to add surround view cameras. Even 2018 Camry has it now, not sure why Lexus IS don't have them.

I still hate Lexus for splitting options between F-sport and Luxury Package.
I mean something like mirror tilt should be standard anyways since it comes at no cost to Lexus.
It is simply a programmable option!

I seems like there is an error in the 2014 IS Canadian Brochure. I have Fsport executive package and it says it in the brochure (see below):

Yes, I believe I remember seeing that error in the 2014 IS brochure back in 2014. I've seen a few errors from Lexus Canada in their brochures over the past few years.. 2014 IS ordering guide shows no auto-dimming exterior mirrors with reverse tilt on the fsport executive package or on any package back in 2014
