Default Turning OFF the side mirror auto-tilt

When I'm in reverse and trying to back out of a narrow space, I need to see what's behind me.. not what's on the ground underneath my side mirrors. How do I turn OFF this highly annoying function? I've searched all through the manual and can't seem to locate it..

I believe if you put the mirror control to off (not to left or to right) that function will be disabled. Give it a shot and let us know!

this is correct.


if your mirror control for the left or right adjustment is on (green LED in switch) then reverse tilt is active, if you turn of the control reverse tilt is disabled.




the cool thing is that unlike other cars that I have driven where it is on or off, with the RCF if you are in reverse and need the tilt all you have to do is turn on the left or right control and it will tilt.


I don't like it on most of the time, but I like it in my driveway because I have a narrow entrance and there is a big palm tree right on the corner, the tilt is useful to guide me around the palm and prevent me from falling off the curb.

Ok.. how do you turn the L or R mirror control off altogether though? It's either on L or R.. never off.

When you reverse, tilt them back up and it will be saved. Just make sure, save your settings via those 1-2-3 buttons whichever is your button.

OK.. finally figured it out! Duh.

Pressing the illuminated button (L or R) will de-illuminate it, effectively turning off the mirror control.

Pressing it while in reverse will turn on/off the auto-tilt. Saving the selection in your seat memory button will recall it when you're in your personalized seat settings.


THANK YOU!! Trying to navigate out of a tiny garage with another car next to you, a boat on one side and a truck on the other on the way out was a little tricky while staring at the ground.
