You could be grabbing them inside your darkened garage or packing garage.

 

True, its just funny (in a good way) how over-engineered stuff is in this car

 

Does it ever make you feel insulted, though, that some vehicles (and automakers) assume that we, as functioning human beings, can't do anything behind the wheel any more, and has to be done for us? Having convenience is one thing (and I'll be the first to admit it)...having machines and electronics in the vehicle do everything for us is quite another.

 

No. I control what features I buy, use and when. When I want the car to drive itself, I have it drive itself. When I want to drive it, I drive it.

 

So odd that Mercedes doesn't have the option to have the driver side mirror do the reverse tilt!

 

I wonder if this is a German brand thing? On both of our current cars (both BMW's) only the passenger side mirrors tilt down. Previously I had a Q5 and an A6 but honestly don't remember if the driver side mirrors tilted or not.

 

Yeah, I dunno. My older Lexus models only had the passenger side tilt down, but the newer ones have both.

 

I suspect its broken. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. Its not unheard of for brand new cars to be broken.

I hope it isn't the case but why would they tilt just one mirror?

 

Its not, I've looked into it it just doesnt work that way

 

1,000 miles? I got the GS in September and just hit 300 on the ODO. I drive the truck more, but even that is only at 1600 miles in 8 months.

Glad you are enjoying the car. It's quite a learning experience when you change brands.

 

It's not broken, this is just the way they do it, both of my BMWs, our Audi, and our previous Lexus worked this way. I believe their thought process is that the feature is for gauging distance to the curb when parallel parking, which shouldn't be a concern on the Driver's side.

 

Thanks! It is a learning experience, I'm enjoying it after having so many of the same type of cars that had no learning curve

 

Does it make the Darth Vader helmet sealing sound?

 

Its not far off lol

 

in my LS the mirror angling down in reverse is dependent on whether or not the mirror adjuster switch is in the center, in the E it's a setting you have to turn on or off in the gauge cluster
