Passenger side mirror acting up - no dip down
Greetings-
I recently noticed my passenger side mirror is no longer tilting down when I put the car in reverse. I am able to adjust it just fine on my own. Any idea why?
Is it starting to go?
Thanks!

i believe the feature is thrown off if the batt. is disconnected as well...w209's have an option in the cluster to reset it...i dont see why the 208 wouldnt as well...

The best thing to do is to be sure the mirror switch is set to the right and the gear in reverse. If nothing moves u must move the mirror to the position you would like it to move to while keeping the car on reverse gear. At this point when you change the gear the mirror will adjust itself and will return to the same position it was at before reversing and it will also return to the position you just selected when ever you reverse. If that doesn't work then you might have a fuse problem.

Wow nice! I did not even know that CLK55's had that feature. The C43's don't. I wonder if it could be added.

did u go into the instrument cluster/options and turn the feature ON? i'm guessing if u go thru the motions of setting it, it's still not gonna work if the feature is actually turned off...

I have a problem after it tilts in reverse it doesn;t fully return to normal position. I sometimes have to hit one of the seat memory to get it back.

Mine ended up being the switch selector set on the left. I just changed my battery and had to re-sync the seats etc. I re-adjusted the mirrors and kept it on the left. After selecting the right button it started working right away.
Thanks for the tip!
