Reverse tilt mirrors settings

I remember seeing this thread earlier, but couldn't get hold of it again now...

When I put my car in reverse, the ORVM don't tilt down automatically down to give a better view of the curb, and some of the settings in the car I felt is not convenient.
anyone who got that setting up and running? let me know... thanks

The memory button on the door can store a mirror position that is engaged in reverse gear. I attached the instructions from the manual.

Hmm, my mirror tilts down when in reverse and I did not program that into one of the memory seat locations.

mirror reverse tilt

Yiu have to leave the setting on the door on the right mirror setting. Then whenever you put car in reverse it will tiltyou can adjust tilt to your liking.
If you leave setting light on left mirror , it will not tilt when reversing

after using it, I haven't made up my mind if it's intuitive and makes sense or not... or if it's something done bad...

- I would have expected the rear view mirror on both sides to go down while on reverse, since I like to sit a li'l low - the left doesn't seem to
- the right side mirror doesn't change as soon as I switch to reverse, unless it's selected - am not sure how to go about it, good because then it doesn't turn unnecessarily, bad because if it's not selected I have to switch it exclusively
- the memory setting is a bit unintuitive, although it might seem obvious after knowing the trick, should have been that way from the beginning.
