Mirror dip - no?
Hey all

Got my new 320 Bluetec. Great!

One question. The LR3's mirrors dip when you reverse, so you can see where you;re going. The sales guy swore that the Benz's mirrors do the same. But if they do, I have not found that setting yet. Any ideas?

Oh and appropriately, the front fog lamps are already fogged up. On a new car - I hope this is not an indicator of quality control to come!

Only available to us in Canada for 08 and only the passenger mirror ''dips'' in reverse. Set your mirror switch to the passenger side and leave it there to get it to work

This is an 09, so will it work?

Guess I'll find out when I reverse again later :-)
