Not sure if it was announced anywhere,but I looked at the stickies and didn't see it.

When you are about to go into reverse,press the mirror adjuster "L" or "R" and leave it on either side and the mirrors will automatically tilt down on reverse,and back to it's normal postion when in drive. This only works if you leave the button pressed on either side.if you leave it in the middle it will not do this.

 

This is only available on 2006-2013 Luxury and 2006-2010 Sport models.

 

is there any way to just make the passenger side go down? i often use the rear view and driver side to see if there's traffic behind me.

 

finally i see how this works! i always tried to figure this out.... always wondered why sometime it did it and sometimes it didnt. thnx! lol

 

This is something new to me!

 

You can adjust to any tilt angle you want then set the memory button and they will tilt to that setting next time. I have my passenger's side tilt way down so I could see the rear wheel which help prevent curb rash when parallel park.
Here are how you do it:
-shift the car to Reverse and both mirrors will tilt down to factory's default position.
-while the car in Reverse, individually adjust each mirror to your liking.
-keep this as your personal setting by hit the Set button then the memory number (while the car is still in Reverse). You should hear an audible beep that confirm the settings have been saved.
-your car is now set for both forward and reverse mirrors position.

 

i hope my car has this function. i have a 2010 is250.

 

thanks for the tip! i will try this later today!

 

Great info. Thought there would be an expensive repair in my future, but not now!!!

 

Only if you have the Lux Pkg or Sport Pkg. I'm pretty sure both of those packages came with rain sensing wipers, so if you don't have that, you don't have tilt down in reverse mirrors.

 

If your car has memory seats, it has this function.

wasn't aware that we can set the actual tilt to our liking, great find

Thanks

 

You can't. If you have the feature, it's on or off.

 

Thx for the tip...worked perfectly on my 4GS (F Sport).
