Reverse gear and the side mirror question....

For our 2014 E350, hit reverse and the right-side mirror goes up; up?!!!


Sure you put her in Drive and it'll come back to normal in maybe 10 seconds, but why does the mirror point up in reverse? ...down is normal, right? Is mine faulty or is there a setting I'm not seeing? (I checked all the dash menus). BTW, I have the entry/exit "convenience" switched off as I don't care for all the electronic shenanigans going on.


Not a big deal, but if I can get that right mirror to either point down on Reverse, or not move at all, that would be great. Any help or advice, gents?

Sure. It was adjusted to that position by someone. No one says you canno adjust it to look up. Just readjust to a down position that works for you while in reverse.

+1

If you set the memory setting like you would for normal seat/mirror adjustments, the current reverse setting gets saved as well.

Ahhhh, gotcha! I just thought it was an odd default feature. We had a car with the "look down" in Reverse so I naturally thought our 350 was doing the same, just faulty. The car is still only a few months new to us so I'm a learnin!


I will re-adjust while in Reverse and then re-set the memory setting. Thanks guys!
