All you do is adjust it when the car is in reverse. It will move to where you want it

 

Shouldn't this tilt more of an agle without me adjusting it everytime I back up?
It is annoying to do this everytime I park.

 

I had the same problem, I took my car to the dealer the first time they couldn't find the problem. When I drove home the problem appeared. I got very upset and took the car back the next day and demanded to have the Lexus Corporate people to come out to look at it...... They took my word very seriously when I said that..... They changed both sides with new mirrors (the entire mirror housing).
After that the mirrors are now working fine. I have just done it last week. Try to be hash on them a little bit or you will let them get away with their flaws.

 

by any chance u know what page? I look but couldn't find this. Thanks.

 

This is actually a known issue with the 3GS and most dealerships should be willing to take care of the problem. When I brought mine in, the srv mgr immediately said it was known and wouldn't be a problem to replace and fix the issue.

 

jreby95, but the mirror works when I manually adjust it.

I think I got my solution from this forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...n-reverse.html

I'll try it tomorrow.

 

I had this checked out at dealer 3 times, each time they say it is normal operation. The Service Manager finally relented and ordered a new mirror, they put it on & checked operation. They said it was the same as old mirror so they removed new mirror and put back old one. They said case closed since new miroor operates same as old. I still think it's bull. Maybe I should try another dealership? My dealership where I took car in 3 times has always corrected everything I complained about in past and are very accomodating but have failed to satisfy me this time.

 

I check mine.. it works now. haha But I still want to know if there is a way to set the memory on how much to tilt.

 

Thanks, I need to adjust mine.

 

Does anyone have the experience that there side mirrors don't always tilt down when in reverse? I can't figure out why and I had the same problem on my last 300 series car (this one is the 350gs)

Thanks in advance,
Jim

 

make sure on the drop down panel that its selected on either the left or right mirror. if its not selected on a mirror, the mirrors will not tilt.

 

yup, what he said.

 

This happens to me sometime as well......and I am sure that I had selected one side on the drop box.

 

it could be the gear wearing out, a relatively common problem on lexus

 

Thanks. Seems to be that I had to have one side selected as suggested. Great!!!
