Guys,

Not the typical "why don't they drop down" question. Mine do drop down in reverse. Has anyone found a way to only drop the passenger side mirror?

I strongly dislike my driver's mirror dropping down.

I frequently find and park in a space with a curb to the right of the car. And I park close to it to leave maximum space to the car to my left. In order to minimize the door dinging potential. I like the RH mirror to drop so I can put the tires like an an inch or so to the curb.

But I very rarely ever curb park to the left side. It makes it too difficult to get out of the car.

That being said, I look for obstacles out my LH & rear view mirror. I can't see obstacles when the LH mirror is pointing at the ground. Yes, I look at the screen in the car also.

Has anyone found a way to change this? I have not found a setting in the customizable setting menu for this.

Haven't heard or seen this setting. Interesting take because I absolutely love the dual tilt on Reverse, especially left side parallel parking or backing into a space. I use corner parking spaces and I get my wheel less than a foot away to maximize room on the pass side to avoid dingers

 

Put it into reverse, flip to the switch to "L" and adjust it to where you would like to see it (In your case, identical to if you're not in reverse). You can do the same with "R" as long as you're still in reverse.

You just have to keep the switch in either "L" or "R" when you reverse for it to tilt. Keeping it in the center position will make the mirrors do nothing.

This is how you adjust the tilt mirror settings when you reverse.

 

Interesting. I'll try that. Maybe I'm weird but I really enjoy reading the owner's manual but I don't recall having readthat. I didn't read the whole thing yet. Maybe that's why.

 

I know for sure the 4GS does this but I was not aware that the LS did this. I think I have tried in my LS but I am going to try again since you said that.

It is quite odd what features some models share, and some features that are picked or just left out/forgotten about for other models.

This is how it works in the 2014 LS I just got. I did a memory save after I adjusted them. Instructions in manual were pretty confusing. I haven't tried it, but see no reason that DS mirror couldn't be adjusted to not move when put in Reverse. Good luck and report back on results.

 

Does not work on '13

Following these instructions did not work for my 2010. Looked in the owner's manual and could find no way to defeat this either.
