Default auto tilting mirror question

hi all, the side mirrors on the F don't seem to tilt down very far at all when in reverse, is there a way to set how far they point down?

thanks,
b

^^ Have you tried leaving the mirror adjusting slider towards the right? If that makes sense. It worked on some car before but i'm not sure if it was the ISF. Worth a shot.

As for making the mirror go down further. I'd love to know if we could do this too.

not sure if there is a way to control how far it tilts down

to disable it, put your mirror adjustment button in the middle, instead of either to the right or left. that will disable the mirrors from tilting

adjust your mirror while it's tilted in reverse. this should make it save for next time. to disable it, return the L+R rocker switch to the center position

doesn't seem to work for me. it just tilts to the preset angle and that's it. doesn't memorize it when i get out of reverse and throw it back in to reverse after adjusting.
