Having problem programming the passenger side mirror parking assist position

I follow the instructions in the manual:

1) Turn car on
2) Adjust passenger side mirror to where you can see the rear tire and the curb
3) Hit the memory button
4) Within 3 seconds hit the power mirror down portion of the adjuster

and nothing happens.

Am I missing some secret step?

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Selector must be on "driver side" when you are on reverse

Yep, it must be set to the passenger side. Also, make sure you're setting the park assist position while in reverse.

And as noted, this feature does not exist on the 07's. And maybe even the 06's?

I have an '08. I was following the instructions in the owners manual, so I assumed my car had it, seems strange that they wouldn't include such a basic customer convenience item.

I will try to program it with the car in reverse to see if that works.

Thanks,
Rick

If you don't have it, set driver 1 & 3 memories to exactly the same position, then lower the mirror while in Driver 3 & re memorize. The only difference is that the mirror will dip down when you press 3 & it will return when you repress 1. Good enough workaround.

Not true. It depends on your build date and the definition of the MY. My build date is in 06 and the MY classification of my car is 07. I have the feature.
