Parking mirror

Do we have the function where the left mirror adjust down to curbside?
It shows on manual but could get it to work.

You mean the right mirror? You need to set the mirror controls on your driver's door to the right side, and then when you put the car in Reverse, the right mirror will tilt down. If you're backing up very fast, the car knows you're not trying to park and in that situation, the mirror will not tilt down until you slow down.

Yes I meant the Right mirror
this is what i did
set right mirror click on M button and adjust the mirror
but when put in reverse the mirror will not tilt
and i did not even move the car
All setting was done with car off and ignition on.

Oh, what model year is your car? If I recall from earlier threads, some (if not all) of the '08 and '09 US-spec C63s don't have this feature.

It was "de-contented" from US cars. '09s also lost power folding mirrors.

I stand corrected.

I pick up my 2010 C63 and I failed to look for this feature when
I test drove it. I'm glad it's there, it is a useful feature imo.

They took out the control for the folding mirrors from the '08 because ppl were complaining about the squeeking noise they were getting and it costed MBUSA too much to fix. I guess when they took the folding mirror option out they decide to yank out the whole eletronics and motor for it as well.

Pretty sure US and Canadian specs are different

I have an 09 and my mirrors do not fold. A workaround is to clone your seat memory to another button and just change the mirror positioning. When you do reverse, hit the corresponding button.

I currently use this for my setup: Button 1 is my main memory setting. When I'm ready to reverse I hit Button 3 and shift into reverse. By the time I'm looking out, my mirror will have already tilted down.

Make sense?

Too much work for me to push a button before I reverse.
