Default Outside Mirror Tilt Adjustment '06 RX330

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust how much the outside mirrors tilt down when the car is shifted into reverse? I have looked in the Owners Manual and I can't find anything that addresses this. I feel like there must be some adjustment since sometimes the mirrors tilt a lot and sometimes they tilt just a little.
I have tried shifting the car into reverse and letting the mirrors tilt and then adjusting the mirrors with the adjustment controls to the preferred tilt angle, but they didn't retain the memory and went back to the previous tilt settings.

What you need to do is set your mirror toggle switch in the middle and the mirrors will lower on reverse. I have a 2006 RX and that is what i do. Jamie

According to the Owner's Manual, if you set it in the middle then neither mirror will tilt. If you set it on "R" or "L", both of the mirrors will tilt. I can't be absolutely certain, but I believe that I have tried this and it is correct.
My question is about the amount of tilt. It should be adjustable depending on the sitting height of the driver.

OP is correct, setting the switch to the center will disable the auto-tilt function.

I'm curious as well as to what determines how much they adjust since yours seem to tilt to different heights.

I always wanted to adjust how much they tilted also. In my Tahoe you could change this be shifting into reverse and then adjust the mirror where you wanted it to go. I tried this in my RX but they always just went back to the factory preset setting which was totally useless. ultimately I just didn't use the feature since it didn't tilt low enough to show anything anyhow.
