Check your owners manual, there is a way to set the mirror go to where you want it to aim when backing up. If I could remember the procedure I would post it.

They were not always customizable, previous to around 2013 the mirrors would dip down an
arbitrary 5 degrees or so down from whatever forward driving position you had set. Still defeatable
by centering the selector rocker if backing up a driveway or ramp.

Just shift the car in reverse (obviously keeping your foot on the brake) and adjust the mirrors to how you prefer for the reverse shift position. Once done, shift back into park. Now, when you shift into reverse again they should move into your saved position for backing up. (If your mirrors are not doing anything when you shift into reverse, verify your mirror adjustment switch for either L or R is enabled as its designed to be disabled if neither is on).
