Stop passenger side mirror from dipping when engaging reverse gear
Hi,
As per title.
The passenger side mirror is set to dip automatically when reverse is selected. I’m okay with judging distance from kerb, so I’d rather it didn’t dip so that I can see gaps on that side...
I couldn’t find anywhere to alter that - any ideas?

But to make this stop, you just move your rear view mirror switch from the right position (which you do to move the left side mirror) and move the switch over to the left (which you use to move the right side mirror)
Keeping this switch on the left will stop the side mirror from dipping when you reverse.

This is called the curb finder feature. It's suppose to do this to help you avoid the curb when parallel parking or backing up towards the curb.
But to make this stop, you just move your rear view mirror switch from the right position (which you do to move the left side mirror) and move the switch over to the left (which you use to move the right side mirror)
Keeping this switch on the left will stop the side mirror from dipping when you reverse.

I’m not sure that the right position moves the LEFT side mirror though.

I have learned from other replies that I just need to deselect that side on the wing mirror adjustment panel in the door.
Thanks for responding - it is appreciated.

If the mirror switch is toward the driver's side the passenger's side mirror will not dip.

In the US the left button disables right mirror dip.
In the UK the right button disables left mirror dip.

Yes of course, I was reading it as him saying that the right position moved the left mirror. He didn’t mean that.
VW and Audi also work the same way. If there’s a middle position, it will also stop the dip.

Steering wheel location is quite important.
