mirror tilting

Hey guys, Just got my car back from the shop (new suspension) and i notice when i reverse the passenger mirror no longer tilts down. the button on the right side on the door is pushed in. any thoughts? is this in my settings in the dash? I just don't remember.
thanks!

It's in the systems settings on the dash and has little to do with the button on the door

I believe that if you push the mirror button on the driver's door for the right hand mirror control, the feature will be restored. Mechanics seem to love to push buttons for some reason.

you have to enable it from the dashboard settings first and then press the mirror button on the side

ok ummm try this coz once i thought it wasnt working. but and i hope i can explain it right.
press the button put the gear in reverse and tilt the mirror to the position you want it to be when you put it in reverse and then put it back in park and see if it moves back to the normal position ! it happened to me when someone didn't like the feature and tilted the mirror back to normal position when they were backing up so every time i put the gear in reverse it wouldn't move but you said you cant see the feature in the dash anymore so i dont know but try it

Well that worked for me. I must have moved it around when i replaced mirror covers. All is well now Thanks.
