I Just discovered a cool new feature when driving in reverse...

I was backing up in a parking lot and my passenger side mirror tilted down as normal. But as soon as I backed up more than a few feet, it returned to normal height, allowing me to see better.

Silly feature, but cool anyway.

Works on either mirror. Just use the mirror selector on the driver's door to toggle between mirrors, but then...you knew that

I don't think so.

The driver's side mirror does NOT have the tilt down feature.
