Exterior mirrors adapting when in reverse

Hey guys quick question. I have the 2013 C 350 coupe. I was wondering when you put the car in reverse shouldn't the exterior mirrors tilt so that I can have a better line of sight when reversing ?

Yes, the passenger side mirror will tilt downward but you will need to slide your mirror switch to the opposite side to have this function.

Basically i pressed the right side mirror function before i reversed, and when i placed the car into reverse nothing happened.... i find this very odd... so i decided to press left side mirror function and still nothing happens...when i go into service i will ask them.

All sorted well done

I absolutely love this feature, I've been adjusting the passenger side rear view mirror every time I reverse parked all my other cars I've ever owned to safeguard from damaging the rims for years, in this vehicle it does it for me automatically, bloody awesome

i absolutely love this feature, i am not saying i am a bad driver or what not but it just makes reversing into spots or into my garage a hell of lot easier IMO.
