Default Side mirrors not working

Typically when we put our is-fs in reverse the side mirrors point down so you can see the ground. Mine stopped doing this and I was thinking it was a fuse or something. I looked at the manual but couldnt figure anything out( i may have missed something). Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks

It is possible your left/right switch is in the center position. I think this functionality is turned off when in this position. If you put the switch on left or right, the functionality will come back.

Is your mirror adjustment switch in the middle position? Try moving it to the left or right.

That's odd, why would it not function when you place the switch in the middle?

Even if it's out of place, you should be able to return back to its spot with either the 1 or 2 on your presets. I know my sister uses my car sometimes and she always worries about location of seat, lumbar support, and the side mirror direction, but it's all saved. I do love that auto reverse tilt feature.

Thanks for the quick responses I'm going to read through the manual again so this doesn't happen again
