Default Side mirror not tilting when I reverse

Just noticed that my side mirror stopped tiliting downward to the curb like it used to when I place the car in reverse. Did a quick search and didnt see if this was something that had to be set or if the mirror has gone bad. Thanks for any help!

Try moving the side view mirror switch left or right, instead of it just being in the middle. That should do the trick.
