how do you get side mirrors to tilt down in reverse?

I've had my 06 CLS500 for about 1 1/2 months. I remember at first when I got it that in reverse, the side mirrors would tilt down so as to see the curb better when parallel parking. I have noticed that it is no longer doing that and wondered how I could turn it back on. Any thoughts?

Make sure passenger exterior button (1) stays pressed in.

Thanks, I think messing with OM.pdf did the trick. However, I am having a lot of trouble with the settings features on the dash. I press the up and down buttons to change the screens and the + and - to navigate within the same screen, but once you are on an area that you want to change, if I press the up or down it goes to another screen and if I press a + or -, it changes it to some other area. Once you have highlighted a settings feature of choice, what do you press to go into that specific feature to change. All it doesn is just change to another feature or screen altogether.

Up & down to function, - off + on. Your O6 should have this mirror adjustment function inclusive of the choice to turn on or off. If you cannot get it to operate properly take it in and have it looked at under warranty.
